Together, they formulate a chemical solution with the ability to grow breast tissue at a rapid rate upon human ingestion When the full story and Silas' destiny are finally revealed, the truth is so shocking that Silas' once idyllic, innocent life is turned completely upside down Read by Jessica Almasy. Isabelle Bean is a sixth grader with no friends and a penchant for used clothing. Even her mom, who is not your typical mom, what with being an orphan and kind of unfamiliar with what kids need like hugs , tries to regularly entice her to shop at the mall.

Isabelle's teachers tend to be impatient with her dreamy ways as well.

She tries to pay attention, but she keeps hearing a buzzing sound coming from the floor of her classroom that prevents her from attending to what her teacher is saying. Being sent to the principal's office is just the out that Isabelle needs to investigate. Along the way, she meets up with a classmate with an injured ankle enroute to the nurse.

Little does Isabelle know that by taking over the escort duties will result in her tumbling into another world - a world very different than her own and world whose inhabitants view a person wearing red shoes suspiciously. Isabelle is suspected of being a witch. She sets out in search of the witch and meets up with Hen, a young girl who was heading to a camp to escape falling into the witch's clutches, but who got separated from her younger siblings.

The two end up getting lost together, then found by an old woman healer who lives by herself deep in the woods.

This parallel universe fantasy is a bit of a departure for the author of compelling and touching realistic fiction Shooting the Moon, Chicken Boy and Dovey Coe , or humorous middle grade fiction like the Phineas L. It's quite a wonderful journey though. I highly recommend Falling In. Falling In landed on the Mock Newbery list of my local library cooperative, deservedly so.

I purchased the book at my school's book fair in May and put it on my tbr pile. I spotted the audiobook while browsing in a local library and picked it up. Jessica Almasy is not my favorite narrator, Unfortunately, I find her voice a bit syrupy and coy. Here, in Falling In, I vacillated between loving her pacing and choices of emphasis and pauses and being irritated, especially when she seemed to mix up a few of her voices.

Plus, the design of the book is just so darn pretty from its small size and beautiful cover to the lovely illustrations of plants and herbs at the beginning of each chapter. In fact, everything went wrong when everything was supposed to be perfect on this blue moon day.

And it's all the fault of the stupid crabs. If only the moon would do its job and push the tide out, she can set her plan in motion and all will be well with the world. This lovely character driven story takes place over the course of a day, but Appelt skillfully uses flashbacks to weave a complex tale of love and longing among the residents of Oyster Ridge Road. Keeper, who's mother left her seven years earlier, is convinced that her mother is a mermaid and can make this disastrous day right.

There's Signe, her mother's very young friend, who took over being Keeper's mother even though she was barely eighteen. There's Dogie, the stuttering war vet, who has been in love with Signe for ten years. Beauchamp, a man as old as barnacles, who is waiting for a wish to come true.

An insider’s guide to the real Waterberg

As interesting as these human denizens are, there is also a menagerie of animals, including BD Best Dog , and his best friends BD Too Too, for short , Sinbad, the one-eyed cat and Captain, a seagull with a love for watermelon. There has been a bit of Newbery buzz over this one and it's certainly well deserved. It's rich and complex.

The language is beautiful. I really felt I knew Oyster Ridge Road; could picture it in my mind's eye and smell the salt air. It's steeped in mythology and magic just as in The Underneath.

But I wonder, just as I did with The Underneath , whom the audience is. It is rather sophisticated for the tween audience that is implied by a ten-year-old main character what with the runaway mother and very young single foster mother. She has a father figure in Dogie, who is in love with Signe and a grandfather figure in Mr.

As nontraditional as anything, these people have knitted a loving family around each other. Keeper begs to be discussed at any age. Kathi Appelt narrated her own work. The narration was produced by one of her sons. I liked the gentle lilt of her voice and accent.
