Search - May Bird and the Ever After (May Bird, Bk 1)

As an adult reading this book, I found it fairly well written with an unusual story line. The characters are very likable. The second book is just as enjoyable as the first. This is just he kind of book I would have loved in elementary school.

My daughter is not a reader. I bought her this book though (as with many others) in hopes that something will set off a spark and have her wanting to read. For some reason (I'm sure it was the wonderful artwork on the cover) she was attracted to this one. Once her nose was in the book, you almost never saw it leave. She absolutely loved it. So much so that I decided I needed to read it too. I adored the book. Jodi Lynn Anderson does such a good job at spinning a wonderful tale of the Ever After. She makes the story a little creepy but not too much and makes you care about the characters you are reading about. I found my nose stuck in the book most of the time too.

My 10-year-old loves this series. She was a little scared at one of the more intense parts of the book but she got over that hurdle just fine and now wants one of those creepy hairless cats. She would name it Pumpkin, of course!

My 9 year old daughter really enjoyed this book and is currently reading the second one in this series.
