Amelia's Book Room: Ottoline Goes To School

I'm back to swoon over Chris Riddell's gorgeous sequel to Ottoline And The Yellow Cat: Ottoline Goes To School! At a glance, these books by the amazing illustrator and sometimes writer, may look like just another kid's series. But I'm 15 years old and I very much enjoy them!

Aside from the quirky writing and wonderful characters, what draws me in to these books is the illustrations; I never noticed just how much detail Riddell puts into his drawings! As an artist myself, I can only hope to one day have the patience to etch out each squiggly leaf in several rows of hedges, or every detail in a map of a park frequented by Ottoline.

It is in Pettigrew Park that this story begins, and where Ottoline meets a new friend: Cecily Forbes-Lawrence III. (And her Patagonian pony, Mumbles.) Our heroine soon learns that Cecily goes away to school, and she decides that she would very much like to go, too. And so she heads off to the Alice B. Smith School for the Differently Gifted. But there are some rumors floating around that the school is haunted; who better to find out the truth but Ottoline Brown and her best friend Mr. Munroe!

I hope even you older readers will swallow your pride and pick up this delightful book, and look out for the next one, Ottoline At Sea. Happy reading!

P.S. What's this? The latest Sisters Grimm book, The Inside Story, has been out since May 1st and I didn't know? Ridiculous! Buying it tomorrow; review soon!
