The Queen and the Nobody Boy by Barbara Else
An adventure story about greed, rebellion, and finding allies in the most unlikely places. Chapter book for children."Else makes the book into something that you just can’t tear yourself away from! I’ll compare The Queen and the Nobody Boy to such that you walk into a room, open a brightly decorated and inviting box and inside is a rainbow oasis of all things magical and fantasy"
-- The Guardian (UK)"The book is well plotted and the twists and turns associated with Hodie’s parentage are unexpected and yet make sense within the context of the storyThis is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure."
-- School Library Journal (US)"The story didn’t disappoint… A quirky, zany and thoroughly entertaining read that should appeal to lovers of magic, fantasy and adventure."
