The story: Don't let the picture on the cover fool you--this isn't a cartoon story about a 4th-grade girl. It's a great fantasy read featuring a young woman who's been assembled from pieces and parts of others. What makes her different from Frankenstein? Even she doesn't know, except that as her memories come back a bit at a time, she knows she loves the town and people of Bryre, and that she'll do whatever is necessary to save them. (Oh, and Frankenstein's monster was never friends with a dragon. There's that.)
June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence PG-13; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult PG-13; GLBT content G; adult themes (kidnapping, betrayal) PG; overall rating PG.
Liz's comments: Despite the grade-school look to the cover, this is really a story for middle-school readers--a straight-up fantasy with a strong lead character coming into her memories and into her own just in time to make an unexpected decision--one that sets this story apart from other fantasy/romance novels out there. Good stuff!
