![]() ![]() I loved the part where Reginald is having tea with Clive and Mabel something about the way she put her teacup down seemed very, very dangerous to him. It's like My Name is Asher Lev (prose) meets Harry Potter meets The Great Good Thing.Įverything is so different yet it all blends together well the characters, being very young, are not extreme wells of character, and although some might pine for more depth, it really wouldn't be realistic that way. Specifically, "Oh THAT's his stone!!! OOOoooooooh! He has that STONE!!!!" Although it wasn't a mystery, I enjoyed all the little magical clues lining up.ģ) UNUSUAL. Sometimes I talk out loud when I'm interested in a book I did with this one. This one totally completely intrigued me (till about 4/5 of the way through, but by then it's ok to take a breather). Most books I can read a couple chapters and toss it aside. ![]() So I read this book without my brain being affronted by mind-numbing and completely unnecessary extensions of romance.Ģ) INTERESTING. Jack did kindofnotreally kiss her, which is totally dumb because he's barely double digits. ![]() So I think Wendy said "oh God" maybe thrice. Ok, so obviously a lot of people do not agree with my five star, so let me just say that I can see how someone would not enjoy this book. ![]()
