The Mrs. Marridge project / Pauline Fisk door Pauline Fisk
Advance copy.
Wonderful book, a dreamy adventure about Bonnie, who seeks to run away from her troubled life, where she is caught between her nervous yet fun mother and her overly controlling grandmother.
When her new happiness is threatened by the reappearance of her grandmother, Bonnie escapes via a dark blue hot air balloon to the land beyond the sky where she encounters the family she has always wanted. Yet, her happiness is again threatened by the bitterness from her fast and she must make a choice about staying, and threatening those she has come to love, or leave and face up to her responsibilities.
A dreamlike, ethereal book that I highly recommend.… (meer)

The Wizard of Oz flies into England. Or something like that. The book starts off well with high expectations, as we just know the main character (yet another dissatisfied pre-teen) will go off on an adventure. Two wonderful characters are introduced, wonderful in that they could have supplied a real tug-of-war between the forces of good and evil, but then they just kind of disappear when they're no longer needed. Like waiters.
Shadowboy and Grandbag deserved some more attention, as did the unseen characters of Wild Edric and Lady Godda. Midway through the book, the action just peeters out, without much interest to keep the reader involved. I couldn't help but think of a British accented Judy Garland. Sorry.
Book Season = Autumn (maybe trees need to be rustling or something)… (meer)
