Farrey, Brian The Secret of Dreadwillow Carse, 256
pages. Atheneum (Simon), 2016. $17.
Content: G.
Princess Jeniah has been told all of her life
to never enter Dreadwillow Carse. If any
monarch of her country does, then the Monarchy will fall. For a thousand years, everyone in the
Monarchy has been at peace, full of joy.
But when Jeniah meets Aon, a girl of the kingdom who is definitely NOT
at peace, the pair hatch a plan to explore the Cars without actually breaking
the curse. What they discover will
change both of them and may also change the course of the realm.
A very nice piece of fantasy that I thoroughly enjoyed
reading. Now that Harry Potter doesn’t
have such a stranglehold on the psyche of our elementary students, it may be a
good time to introduce a stand alone (I hope), well-crafted novel.
