Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Creative and entertaining modern fairytale. One frustration; the authors repeated use of the word gypsy (considered by many to be a slur) to describe the local witch living in the woods. Author clearly knows the more appropriate term, romani, since she uses it to describe the womans caravan home. That character is also very much built of stereotypes. Firstly, I want to comment on the narrator. She was excellent. Her voice suited the story and the main character. Her narration held me to the story, just as much as the author's writing. And I think it's important to mention that. The main character in this book is 13, which suggests the book is written for younger readers. However, it felt to me that she was more mature and sophisticated. Half the time, I forgot Tanya was only thirteen. That doesn't mean that I think young people are not or cannot be mature and sophisticated, it means that the story (I feel) will appeal to young adult, and even adults too. The supporting characters are placed well and compliment the main character. The plot was well thought out and kept me guessing. The mystery was realistic and believable. In fact, I enjoyed this story a lot more than I thought I would. I will definitely be looking for the next book in the series. And I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books filled with mystery, adventure, and fantastical elements. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

My notes:
These are some of my favourite books. Don't be put off by the fairies because they are more like the fairies in mythology than the ones in little kid books. They are mischievous and sneaky.
Book notes and screen notes: There are three books in this series: 13 Treasures, 13 Curses and 13 Secrets.
