Marmalade is a book that today’s child is sure to love! Just from the back cover, I felt a flood of memories come back about books and movies including Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Goosebumps, and many Halloween-themed stories…Jason Thibeault, the author of Gertrude’s Broken Wand, has started what I believe to be a new reading sensation among young readers. I know I can’t wait to read book two, “Forget-me-Knot” – a sneak peek of the second book is included at the end of book one! This opens the door for you as a parent to ask your child “What if?” and “What do you think will happen next?” questions. Asking questions like these will allow their imagination to soar into new places!

I loved that my kids begged for more when we stopped for the night. My kids sighed and said “Awe mom!” They wanted me to keep reading. There are not many books that keep my kids asking for more but this is one of them. Now they can’t wait for the second book.”
