An exciting new book is The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman

This modern fantasy is a favorite young adult book because of the adventure, romance, and magical aspects from rhyming charms and a mirror that talks to flying carpet rides. Imagine working in a library that loans out magic objects from the collections of the Brothers Grimm. That is just what The Grimm Legacy does. It takes you on a discovery quest to find out who is stealing the magic from priceless items in the collections repository.

The Clockwork Three by Matthew J. Kirby

(Utah teacher and author)

This is the story of three characters – Guiseppe, an orphaned street musician, Hannah, a strong willed girl from the tenements, and Frederick, a talented clock maker’s apprentice. The three are brought together by extraordinary events and together they create a friendship that ultimately works like the turning gears of a clock. This adventure opens a world of imagination, sacrifice, and suspense as the characters are challenged to overcome their greatest fears. This remarkable debut story will leave readers with a sense of wonder long after they have closed the book.
