Megan Whalen Turner recommends
Amber & Clay (2021)
Laura Amy Schlitz
"Amber and Clay works the best kind of book magic, bringing to life gods and ghosts and philosophers. It is a rare treat."
Dangerous (2014)
Shannon Hale
"Maisie Danger Brown is Danny Dunn and Nelly Bly rolled into one. Hale mashes up her science and her superheroes with aliens and a terrestrial villain or two, then stirs in just the right amount of wonder and delight. I loved this book."
Bloodflower (2009)
Christine Hinwood
"A beautiful representation of love and loyalty and the aftermath of war."
