Summer read #6 Wanted

By Betsy Schow
Paperback
298 pages

Scholastic Book Fair purchase

The sequel to Spelled. This book focuses on Rexi as the main character instead of Dorothea.
Maybe I read it too fast, but there were a few confusing parts. It feels a bit like she just tried to squish together as many allusions as possible. A bit overboard.
Sets up for a third book, not sure if one has been written - or if I'll read it.
I like the very end.

Summer read #5 Spelled

By Betsy Schow
Paperback
345 pages

YA Fantasy/Retelling/Twisted Tale

This one is a repeat for me. I bought the sequel at the Scholastic book fair, and I didn't remember this one well enough.

Lots of humor, an interesting story, and a fun fairy tale mashup.
