![]() ![]() After getting kicked out of a joint like that, the only institution that will take them in is located in the remote and mysterious mansion in a town called Cambridge Falls. The beginning of this novel shows them being ejected from one of the most derelict orphanages they’ve ever visited, The Edgar Allen Poe Home for Incorrigible and Hopeless Orphans. That’s because they know that their parents are not dead. Emma, Kate, and Michael have spent most of their lives bring bounced around from orphanage to orphanage, but they thwart every attempt families make to adopt them. I must admit, this book begins like many other novels in the genre, with orphans.…Or at least with kids who are believed to be orphans. It satisfied my craving for magic and inspired me to keep reading through to the sequel, The Fire Chronicle. ![]() This month, I chose to read The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens. February’s cold and gloomy days can always be brightened with a bit of whimsy. I love to read fantasy books when I can snuggle under a warm blanket and drink hot chocolate. ![]()
