A review for the new book by Mara Rutherford. A Curious Kind of Magic is a sweet cozy fantasy with found family vibes. I really enjoyed the characters and the story. This is a standalone, but I am really hoping for at least a sequel with this charming group of characters.
A review for the adult debut, A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig. This is a very atmospheric, historical fantasy with a bit of horror and romance mixed in. I loved the main character and her journey to find her lost love and rescue him from a terrible fate.
This is a review for a new book with a very different kind of mystery. The Creeping Hand Mystery by Maureen Johnson is a do it yourself style mystery. It was like being handed the files to a murder case and then using that to solve the case. It was a lot of fun to read and to solve.
A review for the delightful adult debut by one of my favorite children’s authors. The Magican of Tiger Castle by Louis Sachar is a wonderful modern fairy tale set in a medieval land. It features wonderful characters and of course some evil ones. A tale that will delight both young and old fans.
The Summer I ate the Rich was a very fun and very smart story about immigrants and social inequities. It had a great cast of characters and readers that really brought the story to life. I loved learning more about Haitian culture and specifically about zombies.
Two quick reviews for two really good books that I enjoyed reading. The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association by Caitlin Rozakis is a funny look at education with a supernatural twist. Best of All Worlds by Kenneth Oppel is a YA science fiction about a family trapped inside a dome.
