To anyone that follows me---READ. THIS. BOOK.
The story blew me away and I can't explain, because to do so is to spoil elements of the book.
Just read it and don't read any book descriptions.
Trust me on this.....

This is a 2024 Lone Star novel.
I don't think I'm a Frances Hardinge person. It took me FOREVER to read this book, and I had to make myself pick the book up. I had trouble following what was going on, as the characters are moving around constantly. The initial catalyst got lost in the moving around with Kellen unravelling curses.
So, Kellen unravels curses. Someone seems to be collecting cursers; Kellen and Nettle are recruited to help discover what is really going on, only to discover the Kellen has unknowingly been cursed. You'll meet Nettle's brother, a bird, who helps them as needed. They run about meeting different people, unravelling curses, and try to solve the overall mystery.… (más)

For younger readers who are ok with creepy things—the story of a young boy forced into his father’s job of ferrying the dead’s shoes to an island, so they won’t become dangerous ghosts. It’s got Hardinge’s endless imagination (the headless birds are quite something) and gentle illustrations.

I picked this up simply because the cover and title were interesting, having no idea that this was actually a children’s book! However it was very enjoyable and one of the most appealing and unique stories I’ve read in a while.
The main character was strong and entertaining, without being your typical naïve beauty. Bear was also a fun addition. It was refreshing to read a YA book that had no romance. Not everything needs to revolve around a very old vampire seducing a very young child!… (más)
