ABANDONED:
Milford, Kate. (2017). The Ghosts of Greenglass House. New York: Clarion/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
[Over a week and a half... and I still couldn't finish it... I LOVED the first book, but this one was just too dense and obtuse (see: review of first book) for my taste. I'll freely admit that when I recently read The Westing Game, I found it completely confounding - just no idea what I was supposed to get from it. And that book is the closest I can think of to this series. She's a fantastic writer, just a tad esoteric for me.]

Cole, Henry. (2017). Bayberry Island [Brambleheart #2]. New York: Katherine Tegen/HarperCollins.
[Chipmunk Twig and two friends travel on a boat liberated from
a bottle to deliver a baby dragon to its home, wherever that may be. Eventually becoming shipwrecked on an island where
there are other baby dragons, the trio are soon joined on the island by the
nefarious Professor Burdock who followed the friends so that he could take all
of the dragon babies back home and put them to work in a foundry. Plus, there may be a traitor in their
midst. The early chapter book
reader-friendly design has at least one of Cole’s own soft, pencil-drawn spot
art illustrations on the majority of spreads, and the visually descriptive text
is ideal for those who want an adventure led by animals, but who might not yet be
ready for Avi’s Poppy series (HarperCollins, 1999), or Brian Jacques’ Redwall
tales (1987, Philomel). While it’s not
completely necessary to have read the previous book, the task of Twig and
friends won’t carry as much weight, though, it should be noted that some
details about Book 1 are recalled at the end of this second volume,
retroactively cluing in those who may have missed the first book in the series.]
