This is a deliberately short list. There were so many great books last year, I'm sure others have many that they'd like to add. So without further ado, here are three of my favorites from the world of fiction. What were your favorites?
Turner, Megan Whalen. The King of Attolia. What can I say about this book? It's an adventure , a love story, a quasi-historical tour de force. Eugenides, as king, is every bit as cunning as when he was the thief, and the poor Attolians are no match. A fan of Turner's works before this, I now find myself almost rabid in my zeal. Well done!
Pennypacker, Sara. The Talented Clementine. Talent-Palooza will never be the same after Clementine discovers her talent. Now she just has to figure out what it is. A great sequel to Clementine.
Stewart, Trenton Lee. The Mysterious Benedict Society. For anyone who has ever looked in total confusion at test questions, you'll love this one. After 4 kids go through a battery of tests (for which they volunteered!), they meet the mysterious Mr. Benedict. At his request, they embark on a mission to foil the dastardly plans of Mr. Curtain.
