Schroeder, Lisa Sealed with a Secret, 224 pages.
Scholastic, 2016. Content: G.
After her fabulous adventure around Paris with her new best
friend, Nora, Phoebe is back home in London. She hasn’t told her family
about the flea market find she made on one of their last days there, mostly
because she didn’t want to share her discovery with her love sick, annoying
sister Alice. Phoebe knows the locket is probably an important find for
her family’s antique business, especially since Alice is heading off to college
and they need the money badly. But Alice has gone from being Phoebe’s
best friend to hardly caring if Phoebe exists. So when Phoebe finds a
magical (maybe) list inside the locket, she recruits another to help her
on her quest. But Phoebe is so caught in her own desires that she doesn’t seem
to be able to be a good friend to anyone and she may have to give up the locket
to someone else.
Schroder does a pretty good job of writing light-seeming
books that also deal with the messiness that can be family and friends and
life. I wouldn’t hesitate to share this with someone young.
