Hero by Alethea Kontis


Hero (Woodcutter Sisters #2)Hero

Rough and tumble Saturday Woodcutter thinks she's the only one of her sisters without any magic—until the day she accidentally conjures an ocean in the backyard. With her sword in tow, Saturday sets sail on a pirate ship, only to find herself kidnapped and whisked off to the top of the world. Is Saturday powerful enough to kill the mountain witch who holds her captive and save the world from sure destruction? And, as she wonders grumpily, "Did romance have to be part of the adventure?" As in Enchanted, readers will revel in the fragments of fairy tales that embellish this action-packed story of adventure and, yes, romance.

Super super super cute book. Just delightful in every way. I liked it even more than the first one, with it's gender bending mash up of fairy tales and stories. I love Saturday, loved getting to know her better as well as finding a bit more about some other sisters and brothers in their family. I can't wait for the next book! Lovely quick delightful reads.

Mom note: As a mother of readers, I also want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures. Violence: mild; Profanity: none; Sex: just kissing with random bathing nudity
