Furthermore

by Tahereh Mafi

Colour and magic combine in this enchanting new middle grade fantasy from the bestselling author of the Shatter Me series.

Born as blank as canvas in a world brimming with colour and magic, Alice's pale skin and milk-white hair mark her as an outcast. Because, for the people of Ferenwood, colour and magic are one and the same. And since the disappearance of her beloved father, Alice is more determined than ever to prove herself and her own magical abilities.

To do so she'll have to travel into the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, with the help of a fiercely annoying boy named Oliver. But nothing in Furthermore is as it seems, and it will take all of Alice's wits to find her father and return him safely home.

Actually I did not finish it at all. This one star rating does not mean that the book is bad. In fact, it is not. For younger readers it’s really lovely! The writing style is also really good. However, it’s just not my cup of tea. I couldn’t get through this, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I was hoping to do so. I really like the Touching Juliet series, but fairytales and I are just not working out. If you love fairytales, especially Alice In Wonderland, you definitely should pick this up! Therefore I recommend this book to younger readers and fairytale lovers, but not really if you are not one for fairytales like I am.
