A girl and her family move partially in order to help her move along the process of grieving the death of her best friend from cancer. Then a fairy lands in her room. I don't know. It wasn't bad. It was definitely readable and short. There wasn't anything to sink one's teeth into though. I think she also had the power of magical art skills too - or maybe I'm just bad, but I think her ability to look at something for a quarter of a second and then capture a perfect likeness was a little far-fetched. Funny that such a thing would bother me on top of fairies and other fantastic creatures, but there you have it. ARCWhen I entered this book, I instaneously felt warm and safe. Like a fuzzy blanket had been thrown over me. Thresholds is engaging and intriguing. I only got to be with Maya (the main character) for a couple of hours, but I already love her. A shy twelve year old who draws whatever she sees, and is grieving over the recent death of her best friend, she is just the type of girl that inspires these kind of books. Just a few pages into the book, she befriends family who lives right beside her new house. And steps across a the threshold of a new life full of magic, adventure, and friendship. Perfect for younger readers, and while older readers might enjoy the stoyr as I did, you might struggle with the length. It was just too short, I felt just as you gotover the threshold of Thresholds, it ended. But don't worry, I'm sure we'll be able to go deeper into this new and exciting series in the books to come.reviewed by Kathryn Taylor.
