The Adventurer's Guide to Successful Escapes

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Mariano Epelbaum. After escaping from a bleak orphanage with the evil matron in hot pursuit, thirteen-year-old Anne ends up at a "quest academy" and, along with friend Penelope and young magician Hiro, partakes in a game-like, high-stakes quest. Despite flat characters, the story is action-packed, and Anne's world and its fantastic creatures are well conceived. A "Secret Epilogue" hints at a new quest to come.
