  1. This is a page-turner! This one does not leave us in a huge cliffhanger, but is definitely a series book. See what you think. Is it a complete story in itself?

  2. During our First Top 3 Vote this year, the following comment was made about this book:
    “The plot of the story isn’t one you expect to see in the normal fantasy like Everything is happy and there is no trouble at all.”

  3. This is a great book! The main character was very sympathetic and the plot was excellent. I also enjoyed the conversations between the main character and her friends. I think this could be Newbery winner.
