Have you ever gotten the feeling that a book was written specifically for you? Like, if you made a list of everything you love in a book, this one book could check everything off the list? I think Midwinterblood is that book for me. It seriously has everything I want: a remote setting, a lot of de...
“He wonders if a few moments of utter and total joy can be worth a lifetime of struggle. Maybe, he thinks. Maybe, if they're the right moments.” This is my first Marcus Sedgwick's book and I'm telling you is not going to be the last. I love how Marcus writes, It has a mood, a feel (the words)...

Eric Seven is sent to investigate rumours of longevity among the inhabitabitants and meets Merle, who he feels an affinity for. It's a story o...
