I, Coriander
This captivating and original young adult tale of sinister events set in London during the Oliver Cromwell years is told in first person by a girl whose mother had decades earlier fled her evil stepmother’s murderous intentions and a parallel, magical world. Coriander finds herself the victim of one tragedy after another and must face her greatest fears in order to restore peace to her life. I couldn’t put this one down and had remembered its intriguing cover from when I came across it while working at Baker & Taylor four years ago. I particularly enjoyed the overall mysteriousness of the book, plus the great imagery evoked and the main character’s distinctive voice.
