Reckless by Cornelia Funke - ESSENTIAL


Funke, Cornelia Reckless, 394 p. Little, Brown, 2010.  

Content: G (tense situations and danger only).  

For twelve years Jacob has hidden his knowledge of his disappeared father’s secret world from his mother and his brother.  In a rash moment, however, he let his brother, Will, see a way in – and now Will is stuck in the worls, struck by an evil curse and in danger of losing his humanity forever.  And his fiancée has followed him in, further complicating Jacob’s quest to save his brother.  

Fascinating creatures, new, clever twists and a world of wonder await the reader.  I enjoyed this more than the Inkworld trilogy.  It won’t fail to please.  I shared this with a teacher and she devoured it – and said it is perfect for her ADD students.
