Exciting new middle grade series!

Evernight is the first book in an exciting new middle-grade series featuring dark magic and witches.
The book opens with a fast-paced chase scene in which a woman called Jenny Winter is being chased through the streets by the fearsome Shadow Jack as he tries to get the wooden box from her, one of the last protectors of the box. We then move onto the present day with Lara in the sewers looking for treasure when she comes up against some bullies.
The pages are filled with adventure, friendship, magic, and mayhem which had me flying through the book not wanting to put it down. The book fills your imagination which is helped along by the full-on descriptions and fascinating scenery, which are out of this world!
Lara is such a wonderful character with a big heart, especially for someone who has been through so much in her young life. I was rooting for her from the very beginning and adored her personality and bravery.
The evil beings are not too scary for younger children but they are mildly sinister, especially Mrs. Hester who likes to steal other souls to stay young.
Overall the book is the perfect fantasy read for middle-graders with so much happening all the time and a good vs evil plot to keep the kids on the edge of their seats.
