The Stolen Prince Of Cloudburst by Jaclyn Moriarty
Esther, stuck between two talented and brave sisters, is looking forward to returning to boarding school - but when she arrives, she discovers some strange and unsettling changes; when the school and her family are thrown into terrible danger, it becomes her responsibility to save them all and Esther discovers courage and talents of her very own.
This title, like its siblings, is a perfectly accessible stand-alone, although, together, they give a deeper immersion and lay the groundwork of something like a middle-grade version of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld—fantasy adventure steeped in humor, with a touch of satire, and set in a whimsical secondary world of the highest order* The Booklist *
There’s a lot packed into this sweet tale told in a deceptively simple, authentic 12-year-old voice. Without devolving into a didactic tone, this novel addresses the concept of safe adults, the danger of comparing oneself to others, the importance of telling the truth and standing up to bullies, and the value of apologizing. Readers can return to this text over and over, and always discover something new. VERDICT: A delightfully quirky story with nuance, depth, and a colorful cast of characters, this book begs for multiple readings. * School Library Journal *
