In the House of the Queen's Beasts

(2) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Emily, who views her family's move as a chance to start over, makes a friend the day they move in. Shy, guarded Rowan won't talk about her family and refuses to enter Emily's house, but Emily loves the time they spend in her tree house, where Rowan tells stories about her "Queen's Beasts," the animals she carves from wood. Emily is a likable character, and the mystery surrounding Rowan's family is intriguingly portrayed.
