Helgfrågan vecka 30/2018

Mia har ju sommaredition på helgfrågan under sommarveckorna och då frågar hon efter vad vi läser just nu? 

Jag har under veckan som pågått 20e.- 27e juli varit med i en readathon, BookBuddyAthon här finns min länk om vad jag räknade med att läsa. Idag har jag läst ut denna bok.

Uppdatering den 28e juli, pga att många i kommentarerna skrev att de inte hade hört talas om boken men omslaget lockar till läsning, kände jag att jag istället för att svara på kommentarerna skriva här istället att det är en barnbok, så där för 10-15 år fast andra åldrar kan läsa den också, här kommer handlingen.

Inspired by her childhood love of books like A Secret Garden and The Chronicles of Narnia, bestselling author Tahereh Mafi crafts a spellbinding new world where color is currency, adventure is inevitable, and friendship is found in the most unexpected places.

There are only three things that matter to twelve-year-old Alice Alexis Queensmeadow: Mother, who wouldn't miss her; magic and color, which seem to elude her; and Father, who always loved her. The day Father disappears from Ferenwood he takes nothing but a ruler with him. But it's been almost three years since then, and Alice is determined to find him. She loves her father even more than she loves adventure, and she's about to embark on one to find the other.

But bringing Father home is no small matter. In order to find him she'll have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, where down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and very, very wrong. It will take all of Alice's wits (and every limb she's got) to find Father and return home to Ferenwood in one piece. On her quest to find Father, Alice must first find herself--and hold fast to the magic of love in the face of loss.
