Orphan. Thief. Witch. A classic fantasy-adventure reminiscent of Howl's Moving Castle from New York Times–bestselling author Claire Legrand. Twelve-year-old Quicksilver lives as a thief in the sleepy town of Willow-on-the-River. Her only companions are her faithful dog and partner in crime, Fox—and Sly Boots, the shy boy who lets her live in his attic when it’s too cold to sleep on the rooftops. It’s a lonesome life, but Quicksilver is used to being alone. When you are alone, no one can hurt you. No one can abandon you. Then one day Quicksilver discovers that she can perform magic. Real magic. The kind that isn’t supposed to exist anymore. Magic is forbidden, but Quicksilver nevertheless wants to learn more. With real magic, she could become the greatest thief who ever lived. She could maybe even find her parents. What she does find, however, is much more complicated and surprising. . . . Acclaimed author Claire Legrand’s stunning and original novel explores the danger of lies and the power of truth, the strength found in friendship, and the value of loving and being loved . . . even if it means risking your heart. Full of magic, adventure, and an original and compelling cast of characters, Foxheart will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones.

alright, I know this book is intended for a lower reading level, but I just had to reread this. I read it in middle school, which is the intended age range, but it has quite literally haunted my mind since then. This book, however ridiculously awesome it is, connected with some little part in my body that made me remember it. I know that’s probably one of the cheesiest things I’ve ever written, but I saw a little bit of myself in the protagonist. Maybe it was her huge force of stubbornness, her disdain of common society, her tendency to jump into things, her incredible awesomeness and impeccable charm (heehee), and her treatment of others that resonated with 12 year old me, but I highly recommend reading the book. At the very least, it’ll be fun. Also, kudos to everyone who just read this ridiculously long and heavily biased paragraph. Happy reading! :)
