Wilder by Penny Chrimes

I Read, Therefore I BlogLeave a comment

The Blurb On The Back:

”The child came out of the wild-ness, out of the sparse bleak mark where few dared to go and none came back.  And though the villagers grew used to her, they did not forget from where she came.”

When the child walks out of the marsh, the villagers are wary. She is odd – half wild, with an unnatural bond to the falcon, who is always circling above her.  Only the Wise Woman is kind to her, taking her in and naming her Rhodd.

Over the years, the deadly marshland grows and grows and brings with it a fatal sickness to the village.  To save the creatures and the people she loves, Rhodd must return to the dark place she once fled and find out what has really happened to the wild.

The Swifts by Beth Lincoln

I Read, Therefore I BlogLeave a comment

The Blurb On The Back:

On the day they are born, each Swift is brought before the ancient Family Dictionary.

They are given a name and a definition, and it is assumed they will grow up to match.

Meet Shenanigan Swift …

She has other ideas.

Shenanigan Swift doesn’t believe in destiny

So what if her relatives all think she’s fated to be a troublemaker, just because of her name?  Shenanigan knows she can be whatever she wants – pirate, explorer, or ever detective.

Which is lucky, really, because when one of the Family tries to murder Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude, someone has to work out whodunnit.

With the help of her sisters and cousin, Shenanigan grudgingly takes on the case, but more murders, a hidden treasure, and an awful lot of suspects make things seriously complicated.

Can Shenanigan catch the killer before the whole household is picked off?  And in a Family where definitions are so important, can she learn to define herself?
