I grew up loving her previous books The Egypt Game and The Headless Cupid (which both garnered Newbery Honors) and several others. <br /><br />As far as a Newbery potential in this story, I don't see it. It's a sequel, and the first 50 pages deal almost completely in exposition hammering it home to you how William and his siblings have escaped an abusive past with their father and half-siblings in another town. It's not very interesting. The writing is not Newbery quality. <br /><br />I put it down after this point, figuring I better read something more pressing. Did anyone else finish it all the way through?lecymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753045162881988523noreply@blogger.com
