Spellbook of the Lost and Found
by Moïra Fowley-Doyle
More like a 3.5 or 3.75 maybe...?
Very odd book. The writing was lyrical without being too flowery and really enjoyable. As far as the writing style and whimsical characters, it reminded me of Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke.
My main gripe was the plot itself. It sounded interesting, but it wasn't as interesting as the back of the book made it out to be. It actually started off a bit silly and pointless. Like, okay....these kids cast a spell that allows them to find lost possessions and makes other people lose there's. Hairclips, jackets, buttons...who cares? It DID turn out to be more than that by the end, and I loved the way everything was wrapped up and it was quite clever. It just took awhile for the book to "have a point" in my opinion.
