Dragon’s Green by Scarlett Thomas - ESSENTIAL

Thomas, Scarlett Dragon’s Green (Worldquake #1), 384 pages. Simon, 2017.  $18.  Content: G.

When Effie Truelove’s beloved Grandfather dies, her father and stepmother move swiftly to sell all of the his books and the small items that he actually bequeathed to Effie.  Through helpful interference, Effie retrieves the odd collection of small items, each of which seems drawn to some of her fellow classmates – an diverse array of scholar, athlete, healer, and recluse.  Together the five must confront their fears and solve a deep mystery that is rooted in the Worldquake – a cataclysmic event the separated Effie’s world from the Otherworld.  If Effie has any hope of saving her Grandfather’s books and grasping her inheritance, she must find her away across and conquer more than one enemy.

Hooray!  An other excellent middle grade fantasy book.  With heart and character, readers will be enthralled.
