Mark of the Dragonfly

by Jaleigh Johnson
Delacorte Press, 2014. 388 pgs. Fiction

When Piper comes upon the wreckage of a completely destroyed caravan, she discovers that one person has managed to survive--a young girl with a dragonfly tattoo. A tattoo that marks her as being under special protection of the king, himself. Thinking there might be a big reward for returning the girl to her home, Piper makes herself the girl's protector. The only problem is--the girl has no memory of who she is or where she came from. And there is a very powerful man on their trail who is determined to hunt down and capture them both. If only Piper could figure out why. Full of magic, mystery, adventure, and even a hint of romance--this is one book you will not want to miss!

Review: The House with Nobody in It

The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book. The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story. This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
