The Agathas
by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson
Delacorte Press Books for Younger Readers
“The references to Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot will delight Agatha Christie followers, however they aren’t a distraction to these unfamiliar with these books. I wouldn’t be shocked although if The Agathas leads some younger readers to look into Christie’s work.” – Gary Anderson

The Tarnished Backyard
by Alyssa Colman
Farrar, Straus & Giroux
“A extremely pleasant story, with the charming magic given weight by the sibling relationship and by the inequality of the society during which they dwell. My enjoyment was heighted by my familiarity with The Secret Backyard–there have been a number of echoes that I liked.” – Charlotte
The Marvelous Land of Snergs
by Veronica Cossanteli, illustrated by Melissa Castrillón
Europa Editions
“The advertising and marketing materials says it’s based mostly on the unique story by E. A. Wyke-Smith, which impressed Tolkien to write down The Hobbit, so there may be that. IT does really feel like one thing from the Nineteen Twenties, with its Capital Letters and morals (however not terribly heavy-handed morals). Even so, I discovered it pleasant. Not deep, however entertaining.” – Melissa Fox

by Diane Zahler
Vacation Home
“Wealthy world-building impressed by each Polish folklore and the poetry of Christina Rossetti combines with a young sister story on this thrilling novel from Diane Zahler.” – GRgenius
Daughter of the Deep
by Rick Riordan
Disney-Hyperion
“This ebook differs from Riordan’s common mythological fantasy collection that readers would possibly count on. It’s based mostly on science fiction and Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea. This traditional novel is supposedly based mostly on true occasions, and Daughter of the Deep explores how the world would possibly change based mostly on Captain Nemo’s discoveries and innovations.” – Mark Buxton
