Dec Reads

source

 One poor sad lonely book read for the whole month of December.  You'd think I was busy or something.



 Anyhow Book of Wonders by Jasmine Richards was a neat variation on Arabian Nights. Scheherazade/Zardi is the main character.  Instead of telling stories to the Sultan, she goes on a quest of sorts to save her sister.  In doing so, she runs into characters from the traditional telling of Arabian Nights.  A fun twist on a classic tale.  The end of the story is set up for a sequel. The book is geared toward tweens and early middle schoolers.
