Magic can be dangerous. Aldermere is a place of magic. The atmosphere is fabulous and the characters fantastic. The perfect amount of creepiness is tossed in to spice up the story. Anxiety is described in an excellent fashion.

After moving from town to town to town, Fin & her mom have finally settled in a place that feels like a real, permanent home. Aldermere isn‘t like other places though, it‘s magical…the tea shop vanishes if you try to force your way in, doors must be labeled or they can lead anywhere.

Do I always bring one of my own books with me to my volunteer shift in my son‘s high school library? Yes, yes I do. Have to have something to read on the train! Today it‘s the tagged book, a MG fantasy due out next week. (Follett‘s Never is too big to lug around easily—.) I‘m really enjoying it so far. 🚉📖🏙
