I am currently reading Lodestar by Shannon Messenger, the fifth book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.
This is a really good book. I can’t really tell you much about it, as it would include spoilers for the previous books in the series, but I’ll tell you about the first book! 🙂 This series is fantasy. The first book is just called Keeper of the Lost Cities.
Sophie Foster has always been different. Ever since she was five years old, when she hit her head and passed out, she’s been able to hear the thoughts of others, and she doesn’t know why, and she’s never been able to tell anyone.
And if this isn’t bad enough, she has to live as a twelve-year old high school senior. She doesn’t want the attention that this gives her— she always wears dull-colored clothes and she stays in the back, but this rarely helps.
But when she’s on a field trip to a museum, she meets a boy named Fitz — and everything changes.
She learns that he’s a Telepath too, and that neither her nor him are human —they’re both elves, and the elves aren’t exactly helping Santa in the North Pole. They’re hidden away, and in the Lost Cities (the hidden cities the elves live in) everything seems so perfect. All elves are powerful, and rich, and beautiful. But this doesn’t make them perfect, and Sophie soon realizes there’s a lot more going on under the surface than most people realize. And it’s up to her to help.
This series is amazing and I highly recommend it. (I had been trying to get my friend Meera to read it for ages, and she finally gave in, and now she’s obsessed with the series, and she normally doesn’t really enjoy series like this — so I think it’s a pretty good series for everybody.) In fact, book 8.5, Unlocked, is coming out in five days! (As of November 12th.) Well, yeah! That’s all I have to say!
Thanks for reading this! Bye! 🙂
