Story
Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter, and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance. But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries.

Gaskell expertly blends individual feeling with social concern and her heroine, Margaret Hale, is one of the most original creations of Victorian literature. When Margaret Hale's father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience she is forced to leave her comfortable home in the tranquil countryside of Hampshire....

She has such a great writing style that we enjoy this woman who’s so seamlessly goes from disliking the north to like in the north and not even realizing she has made the switch so tastefully done.

Each book was charming in its own way, entertaining and endearing
No, each author had their own style. We felt like we could live in the countryside with them and in the town and in the ballroom.

Story
For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams.

I loved this reading with its voices. The play on words was wonderful and you want to read it again just to catch them all. What an imagination for kids and yet enough for adults to ponder on.

This was very well written I felt a part of things, although Lottie was a little daft at times for someone who is supposed to be so smart. I do wish there was less swearing.

I was afraid I was going to get bored with the repetition of how things used to be to catch New readers up that had not read the first series, but it was very well done. I also thought it would be not be as good as the first fable haven series but it met my expectations and exceeded them. this was a very good book indeed, and I look forward to the rest of the series.

I like a book that has an ending. One that lets me know what happens to the characters That I have spent the entirety of the book acquainting myself with. This one left me wondering. Not my style without happy ending. Good twist though.
