The Shadows: The Books of Elsewhere: Volume 1 by Jacqueline West
5.0
5 reasons why this book is marvelous!
You get to (almost) literally escape to another world with Olive! I’m now searching for a pair of magical spectacles.
West’s imagination is perfect for the middle school age. Olive has to take care of herself now and then while her parents are working, but she gets to have her own adventures. Middle Schoolers will connect with the “trying to grow up” idea but still utilize their imagination and innocence!
Um… talking cats anyone?
Harvey. He’s one of the talking cats and my favorite. He likes to act out different characters: spies, pirates, etc, and how fun is that?
Olive’s adventure don’t stop here. You can find her in Spellbound and The Second Spy
If you happen to find Elsewhere, please let me know.
