 I loved The Mirrorwood, by Deva Fegan -- it felt like a classic fairy tale, and yet so original! |  Clare Vanderpool's classic story about a girl trying to find her place and understand her father is a beautiful classic |  Under the Egg is a fun art history mystery -- what's not to like?! |
|---|---|---|
 I wish the mystery-cracking Enola Holmes had been around when I was middle grade age, and I especially love with wonderful bits of Victorian women's history woven into these books |  Wrinkle in Time is one of my all time favorites! |  Wolf Hollow is a beautiful coming of age story about learning not to judge other's by their appearances |
