Cantu, Laura C. Once Upon a Time (Betwixters #1), 288
pages. Winterwolf Press, 2017. $17.
Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG (some bullying and danger).
The fairy Neevya knows that of all the different worlds, the
human world is off limits. While she is
fulfilling her duties of catching sunbeams and planting acorns, she is dragged
through a Precarious Portal and into the human world. Noah, Ethan, and Skye exist day-to-day in
their bully-ridden school in England.
Running from the biggest bully one day, they escape to The Dark Wood. They find Neeyva, who has been injured and
pledge to do what they have to in order to return her to her home. The trio will encounter danger unimagined in
their quest to help their new friend.
Cantu has crafted an excellent beginning to a new fantasy
series for younger readers. We do spend
a lot of time meeting the friends and learning about their situations; my hope
is that means we will have more adventures coming quickly.
