The Glass Puzzle by Christine Brodien-Jones - ADVISABLE

Brodien-Jones, Christine The Glass Puzzle, 317 pgs. Delacorte Press, 2013. $16.99.

Language: G (no swears), Mature Content: G, Violence: PG; 

During a summer vacation at their grandfather’s home in Wales, Zoe and Ian discover a glass puzzle that acts as a portal to an alternate world. Scravens, monsters from the world of Wythersea, are escaping their own world and taking over the people of Tenby. Zoe and Ian join forces with Pippin, a local waif, and Bron, a seer with magical powers to try to save the town of Tenby. 

This was a cute book full of adventure and imagination. The characters and their quirky personalities were a little overdeveloped and occasionally distracted from the plot, but demonstrated the importance of being yourself and not conforming to societal norms.
