Review of The Bride's Farewell by Meg Rosoff Teens A beautiful road trip-come-fable-come-quest novel, in Rosoff's trademark understated but vivid and romantic style. The journeys are physical and emotional, and this book will appeal to a wide range of readers. Full Review

Review of White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick Teens If you don't mind the slow start and loads of confusing philosophizing, there are some thrills and edge-of-your seat suspense to be had later on. Full Review
