The Gammage Cup
by Carol Kendall
First reviewed in 2015:
The Gammage Cup is one of the most fun fantasy books I’ve ever read. One morning, Muggles wakes up and sees a fire on the mountain. There shouldn’t be fire on the mountain, but there is and soon it becomes apparent that the whole countryside is in great danger of the Hairless Ones—their enemies of the past—even though there is hardly anyone who believes in the old stories anymore. I love this story, not only for its depth of characters and well-planned plot, but because of the humor and ingenuity presented through the story.
Read for the second time in 2023:
I read this book years ago for school, and really enjoyed it. There’s something about the simplicity in this story, combined with typical human nature and a small group of people that worked to save the rest, that is appealing and just plain fun to read about. I think Carol Kendall had a lot of fun writing this story, and I know my siblings and I certainly had a lot of fun reading it together recently! If you enjoy fantasy with a twist, this would be an excellent choice. There’s a lot to love here!
