I, Coriander by Sally Gardner

Image
I, Coriander by Sally Gardner I like fairy tale based stories! And, I, Coriander is a bit of a Cinderella story. Add in a motherless child, and I am hooked! The main character is descended from fairies. Her mother died and her father is tricked into marrying a horrible woman who wants Coriander's mother's power. This is a fast paced story with a lot of mystery. If you read it, I am sure you will like it! 5 -Awesome book, highly recommend.

Siberia by Ann Halam

Image
Siberia by Ann Halam (see her website ) Sloe lives in the frozen wasteland of Siberia. She is the keeper of seeds--the DNA of all wild animals. It is complicated, but interesting. And of course the AUTHORITIES don't want them to exist. She has to run from the authorities to keep herself and the animals safe. She doesn't know who to trust or, at times what her quest is. She has a fuzzy idea of where she should go and what she should do. This is another genre of books I love--hey I like the movie theme too-- Dystopian Science Fiction . Wikepedia has interesting information about this! 4- Good Book--Recommend
