Will they catch the thief and recover the stolen exhibit in time?
4.
Falling In by Frances O'Roark Dowell
Isabella Bean is not the popular kid at school. In fact, she is not liked at all. But, she hears a buzz. It's not an ordinary buzz. She finds herself falling into a janitor's closet and into another world. The world where fairy tales and witches live. When she if found, the children there all believe that she is THE witch. She has to convince them that she isn't and help them locate the real one.
I liked the story quite a bit. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy, but this one got me (which surprised me) I sort of liked the narrative excerpts, where the author talks to the reader. Changed it up a bit, which was interesting.
