Very fun with lots of interesting fantasy characters. Lots of action. Some "fowl" language. |
| Fog Magic | Julia Sauer | 6.0 | |
A little girl travels through history in the fog. An interesting concept but little action. Newbery Honor, I think for writing not storyline. |

A little predictable, but fun. Good for reluctant readers. I enjoyed the illustrations. |
| Which Witch | Eva Ibbotson | 5.1 | |
