...This fast-paced fantasy adventure story is extremely well-written. Readers will identify with the main character as she bravely overcomes her insecurities to find the magic that is within her.
...Inspired by one of the darkest of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, “The Wild Swans,” this has enormous gothic appeal for YA readers. Marriott draws from myth and magic to retell this exciting story, perfectly suited to adolescent fears and dreams.

What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.
