Foxheart | Claire Legrand
14 posts | 7 read | 13 to read
Foxheart is a classic fantasy-adventure about the danger of lies and the power of truth, the strength found in friendship, and the value of loving and being loved . . . even if it means risking your heart. Full of magic, adventure, and an original and compelling cast of characters, Foxheart is a fast-paced fantasy reminiscent of Howl s Moving Castle.Orphan. Thief. Witch. Twelve-year-old Quicksilver lives as a thief in the sleepy town of Willow-on-the-River. Her only companions are her faithful dog and partner in crime, Fox and Sly Boots, the shy boy who lets her live in his attic when it s too cold to sleep on the rooftops. It s a lonesome life, but Quicksilver is used to being alone. When you are alone, no one can hurt you. No one can abandon you. Then one day Quicksilver discovers that she can perform magic. Real magic. The kind that isn t supposed to exist anymore. Magic is forbidden, but Quicksilver nevertheless wants to learn more. With real magic, she could become the greatest thief who ever lived. She could maybe even find her parents. What she does find, however, is much more complicated and surprising. . . .Acclaimed author Claire Legrand s stunning and original novel will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones."

Anyone else a fan of Claire Legrand? I love her writing so much. I fell head over heels for her YA books, which always seem to feature fierce, chaotic, unapologetic girls. Then I discovered her middle grade/children's fiction and fell even more in love with her whimsical words! Here are the newest two books of hers that I have gotten - I can't wait to read them! Chaplin is also excited! 😹💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin

BookishMarginalia I‘ll have to check her out. And your kitty is pure cuteness!!! 3y
Branwen @BookishMarginalia Thank you, friend! 🤗💕 Chaplin is my best book buddy! I'm pretty sure he loves books as much as I do! 😹 3y

After reading Furyborn I wanted to read everything Legrand wrote. This one was enjoyable but nothing compared to Furyborn. 4🌟 because it was enjoyable.

Purrsistently I randomly picked this one up at the library and bought furyborn because I loved it, glad to know it's even better! 😻 6y

rightasrain13 I love the idea of a book planner - do you like using yours? 😊 6y
Briary @rightasrain13 I just love it! I can keep a track of books to be published, accidental book finds, wishlists etc.. Very enabling on book buying, let me tell you 😂 6y

Mehso-so

A bit jangly and rough in parts, but a book with heart. What I liked: Quicksilver is kind of a rotten kid who eventually redeems herself without losing what makes her rotten. What I found tiresome: the hero‘s journey part was too long - seven relics could have been five and the story would have been just as good.
Read this as a bedtime chapter book with your kids, especially if you love dogs.

Sometimes words are more powerful than magic, for they can remind us how strong we really are.

Got a whole bunch of books signed yesterday at #NTTBF18. Some are new, most of these I had already. What an absolute blast getting to meet author friends in person and experience all that energy. And on top of it all, Simon & Schuster had an ARC copy of my book at their booth!! I gave them some bookmarks to give out, and it was all super cool.

Cortg Fantastic! Sounds like a great day. 7y

I won't lie. I bought these to put in my Book swap boxes a month ago. But they don't match the themes I've picked out. So I guess I'll just have to keep them. (Insert maniacal laugh). #allhallowsread #halloweengoespostal

I loved the magic of this book - not to mention the fact that I just wanted to hug my dog while reading it, right up until the very last page. Legrand's characters are gritty and charming, and this world she has created is dark, yet marvelous. Love, love, love.
