Even so, she is able to make some friends. Ella soon finds herself the target of terrible rumors. A teacher has gone missing and a criminal escaped from prison. Can Ella clear her name?
THE MARVELLERS was a magical middle-grade fantasy. It took me a little while to get a handle on the fantasy world as there were a lot of pieces but once that smoothed out for me, I was engrossed in the story. I loved the diversity of the characters, each being compelling and truly adding to the narrative, not being one-dimensionally diverse for the sake of checking off a box. There are many great thought-provoking and teachable moments for young readers, though adults can also glean quite a bit.
THE MARVELLERS is the first book of Dhonielle Clayton's The Conjureverse series. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to fans of middle-grade fantasy. I look forward to reading the next book, THE MEMORY THIEVES.
