Wings by E.D. Baker - ADVISABLE


Baker, E.D. Wings, 250 p. (approx). Bloomsbury, 2008.

MS-ADVISABLE

Tamisin has always been different - from her pointy-tipped ears to her sparkling freckles. And only she can seem to see the twisted creatures that roam around her town, especially on Halloween. Then comes Jak, who seems to really like Tamisin, in spite of her differences, or maybe because of them. What she doesn't know, however, is that Jak himself is different, in a spookier way. And he is in Tamisin's town on a mission.

A bit darker than Baker's Frog Princess books, enough that this probably shouldn't go into elementary schools. But older students, following the trend of the darker fairy tale, will enjoy this one.
