Fuse8: 100 Magnificent Children’s Books
Weaving legacy and myth into science and magic, old into new and enemies into friends, Blakemore creates an exquisite mystery. . . . With keen intelligence and bits of humor, the prose slips calmly between narrative perspectives, trusting readers to pick up a revelation that Ephraim and Mallory don’t see—and it’s a doozy. This one is special. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *
In
The Water Castle, science feels magical, and magic feels possible. This is a world I want to live in. * Laurel Snyder, author of BIGGER THAN A BREADBOX *
