Reviews
"Tracey Baptiste scares up new audiences to learn about jumbies . . . She builds a fairy tale about a brave girl and her adventures among Caribbean creatures." -- Washington Post "A scary but cheerful tale that draws on Caribbean folk traditions. A great update on the 'town under supernatural attack' story, with a marvelous setting." -- Baltimore Sun "Endlessly addictive and hypnotic" -- Essence Magazine "Far more than just your average spooky supernatural story, Baptiste uses the underpinnings of a classic folktale to take a closer look at colonization, rebellion, and what it truly takes to share the burden of tolerating the 'other.' Plus there are monsters. Gotta love the monsters." -- Elizabeth Bird, Fuse 8 "The themes of fairness, justice, and retribution meld into a better than average evil witch story . . . This is a well written tale full of action with enough scary elements to satisfy fans of Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm or Laura Amy Schlitz's Splendors and Glooms ." -- School Library Journal "It's refreshing to see a fantasy with its roots outside Europe . . . this is a book worth reading simply for its originality." -- Kirkus Reviews "A spine-tingling tale rooted in Caribbean folklore that will have readers holding their breath as they fly through its pages. Be forewarned! This tale isn't some cozy, tropical vacation and it's not for the weak at heart, oh, no! If you like spooky tales, this is the book for you. Corinne's story is truly a welcome and refreshing edition to the world of fairytales." -- Valerie R. Lawson "This girl's got guts. Even as she wanders the mystery-shrouded forest full of creepy-crawlies from Haitian folklore and faces up to the frightening newcomer to her village, Corrine La Mer brings badassery and wisdom beyond her years. Launching brave kids into the world of the horror novel, and leading them through it with lyrical prose, author Tracey Baptiste knows just how to seize kids' attention." -- Foreword Reviews, "Tracey Baptiste scares up new audiences to learn about jumbies . . .

Best suited for the kids seeking lore where creatures hide in the shadows of trees, but where they're unlike any creatures the kids have seen before. Original. Haunting." -- Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal "The themes of fairness, justice, and retribution meld into a better than average evil witch story . . .

Synopsis
The start of an exciting series filled with Caribbean folklore, daring adventure, and ancient magic, from New York Times bestselling author Tracey Baptiste. Corinne La Mer claims she isn't afraid of anything. Not scorpions, not the boys who tease her, and certainly not jumbies. They're just tricksters made up by parents to frighten their children. Then one night Corinne chases an agouti all the way into the forbidden forest, and shining yellow eyes follow her to the edge of the trees. They couldn't belong to a jumbie. Or could they? When Corinne spots a beautiful stranger at the market the very next day, she knows something extraordinary is about to happen. When this same beauty, called Severine, turns up at Corinne's house, danger is in the air. Severine plans to claim the entire island for the jumbies. Corinne must call on her courage and her friends and learn to use ancient magic she didn't know she possessed to stop Severine and to save her island home., When eleven-year-old Corinne stumbles into the forest on her Caribbean island home, she rouses a jumbie--a malevolent spirit--who emerges to wreak havoc. Corinne must call on her courage and her friends and use ancient magic to stop the jumbie and sa, Corinne La Mer claims she isn't afraid of anything.

- 1***i (40)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe book arrived in a flimsy envelope and has some bent corners as a result, but nothing serious. It was described by the seller as in Very Good condition, but there's some staining on the pages and the cover has multiple creases that are clearly not from shipping. But, while the listed condition was inaccurate, the book I received is still well worth the price.
- h***i (1404)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI sent the seller a friendly request after buying, asking them to please not ship the book in a thin plastic mailer. My message was sent back to me, the seller never saw it or replied. Ebay said that the seller blocks messages. The Book was in fact shipped in a thin plastic mailer. It arrived okay, but sometimes they don't. Bought another book from a different seller at the same time who replied to my message and who ships his books in boxes. Guess who I'll be a repeat buyer with?The Last Kaiser: The Life of Wilhelm II (#336027746972)
