Old Ms. McMartin is definitely dead. Now her crumbling Victorian mansion lies vacant. When eleven-year-old Olive and her dippy mathematician parents move in, she knows there's something odd about the place--not least the walls covered in strange antique paintings. But when Olive finds a pair of old spectacles in a dusty drawer, she discovers the most peculiar thing yet: She can travel inside these paintings to a world that's strangely quiet . . . and eerily like her own. Yet Elsewhere harbors dark secrets--and Morton, an undersized boy with an outsize temper. As she and Morton form an uneasy alliance, Olive finds herself ensnared in a plan darker and more dangerous than she could have imagined, confronting a power that wants to be rid of her by any means necessary. It's up to Olive to save the house from the dark shadows, before the lights go out for good.

Column Based On Books The Shadows (The Books of Elsewhere #1)

I initially had this book in audio format but felt like I was missing something. A quick trip to the bookstore solved that one. Dont get me wrong, it wasnt because I didnt enjoy the narrator, I just felt like I was missing out on flipping the pages, looking at the illustrations and reading the words. I fell in love with the wonderfully detailed pictures of the McMartin home and Olive trying on long gloves and combs in her hair. I was instantly lured into the book by the authors style of

If you like The Book Jumper you might like this, instead of jumping in books the main character can jump into paintings. The plot was simple and at times it was slow, but it was enjoyable. I could tell you the plot but you can look it up on here. There were some good and some bad. The good, being able to jump into paintings. The bad, I didn't really like the ending. And there are three talking cats, if you're into that. It's the first of a series and I'll give the rest a chance. Hopefully the

Although I would recommend this to certain readers, I am not eager to read the next in the series. Olive and her family move into a house that has been previously owned by powerful and cruel witches. The three cats in the home befriend Olive as she discovers the house's secrets by moving in and out of the framed artwork, enabled by a pair of enchanted spectacles she finds. It has some exciting moments though, and Olive is a lovable character. As with most intermediate level fiction, the parents

FIRST PARAGRAPH: MS. MCMARTIN WAS definitely dead. It had taken some time for the neighbors to grow suspicious, since no one ever went in or came out of the old stone house on Linden Street anyway. However, there were several notable clues that things in the McMartin house were not as they should have been. The rusty mailbox began to bulge with odd and exotic mail-order catalogs, which eventually overflowed the gaping aluminum door and spilled out into the street. The gigantic jungle fern that

This volume by Jacqueline West, The Shadows, is first in the series of Elsewhere. Right away - loved the cover. If you see it in person, the cover actually reflects light and looks like it's glowing. The drawing is a perfect likeness to Olive, the main character. Each illustration is a mix of creepiness and adorability.I am amazed by Jacquline West and her ability to pack in multiple story lines, adventure and several twists with a few heapfuls of angst in 241 pages. She tells the tale of Olive

Let me start off by saying that I love books written with the child in mind. Though not as complex as as some of the fiction written for adults, both in content and in form--the children's book (targeted to 9-12 readers) is not without its own standards, and the author, Jacqueline West, meets them brilliantly. Having just received my check, I decided to indulge myself in a little ebook spree and bought The Shadows (The Books of Elsewhere vol. 1), from Amazon on a whim. Four hours later, I was

April is For Authors is such an amazing event! I met Jacqueline West, Lynda Hunt, Sharon Draper, and other various authors. This book kept me reading and hoping for more but the exposition was a little rocky as well as the background knowledge of the main character. Miss West was so nice although I didn't get to talk to her for long; she was so popular!
