The Bag of Bones by Vivian French


French, Vivian The Bag of Bones, 247 p. Candlewick Press, 2009. $14.99. Content: G. The good witches of Wadingburn welcome a refugee from a neighboring kingdom, who immediately decides to shrink them all and take over the throne of beloved Queen Bluebell. Loobly, an orphan, is witness to the dastardly deed and decides that she must find help – which will come in the form of a bat, a troll, a prince and a Trueheart. If your students liked Robe of Skulls, they will thoroughly enjoy this continuation of the series. I say if French can keep putting together worthwhile plots, keep the books coming!
