...Very pink, definitely didactic-the lessons here always loom larger than the story...Rather nifty battles of the action-movie type ensue, with combatants human and fairy, and both worlds reach a better understanding. Joyce and Eleanor are both plucky girls with imagination; Merrie is an EEE-vil caricature. Possibly charming, certainly twee.

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.
