The Collectors | Jacqueline West
4 posts | 2 read | 9 to read
Even the smallest wish can be dangerous. Thats why the Collectors are always keeping watch. The Collectors sweeps readers into a hidden world where wishes are stolen and dreams have a price. Fast-paced, witty, and riveting, this contemporary fantasy adventure has magic woven through every page. It's the first book in a two-book series from Jacqueline West, the New York Timesbestselling author of The Books of Elsewhere series. For fans of Serafina and the Black Cloak, The Isle of the Lost, and The Secret Keepers. Van has always been an outsider. Most people dont notice him. But he notices them. And he notices the small trinkets they drop, or lose, or throw awaythats why his collection is full of treasures. Then one day, Van notices a girl stealing pennies from a fountain, and everything changes. He follows the girl, Pebble, and uncovers an underground world full of wishes and the people who collect them. Apparently not all wishes are good and even good wishes often have unintended consequencesand the Collectors have made it their duty to protect us. But they aren't the only ones who have their eyes on the worlds wishesand they may not be the good guys, after all. Jacqueline West, author of the New York Timesbestselling Books of Elsewhere series, draws readers into a story about friendship, magic, and the gray area between good and evil. The Collectors is for fans of Cassie Beasleys Circus Mirandus and Jonathan Auxiers The Night Gardener.

This is a surprisingly dark #middlegrade story with an ambiguous morality I wasn‘t expecting. Van is a well-realized hard-of-hearing character who is learning to balance his own wishes with the well-being of others and adapt as he learns more information as he goes. And, of course, talking animals and magical creatures are always popular. I hope Pebble develops more in future books. #hubchallenge19 #kidlit

Such pretty book mail! The author lives in our small MN town and we hope to see her at the library this month! 💜

Tamra We have such a backlog of much anticipated middle grade novels, but I can‘t resist. So weak! 6y
