The Girl in the Tower

247 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9513-5 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli. Ten-year-old Violet--imprisoned from infancy in a tower with her mother--and an elusive hummingbird feather are the keys to a magic spell spun by an evil, beauty-obsessed witch-turned-queen. A good amount of rising tension and soft black-and-white drawings that add to the story's quaint feel help to make up for flat characters and a cliché-filled text.
