The friendship – I assumed from the book description that Juniper and Giles were already best friends. At the same time, their condition was quite horrifying for Juniper, and it made her quest even more emotionally impactful.Ĥ. Kozlowsky found a unique way of taking the parents out of the picture without killing them off. Juniper’s hope – I loved the way Juniper was able to hold onto her memories and stay hopeful despite her rather bleak existence.ģ. And when you find out what is going on with the balloons … well, let’s just say I will never look at a balloon the same way again.Ģ.
The premise – This has to be one of the most creative and creepy premises I’ve read in middle grade. And it will be up to them to confront their own fears in order to save the ones who couldn’t.ġ. For the first time, Juniper and Giles have a choice to make.
What she discovers is an underworld filled with contradictions: one that is terrifying and enticing, lorded over by a creature both sinister and seductive, who can sell you all the world’s secrets bound in a balloon. On a cold and rainy night, she follows her parents as they sneak out of the house and enter the woods. And lonely, imprisoned Juniper and her equally beset friend, Giles, are determined to find out why.
Berry have been cold and disinterested and cruel, not at all themselves lately. And even though she is closer to her mother and father than anyone, she couldn’t feel more distant from them. She lives on a palatial estate, but she feels trapped. She is the daughter of the world’s most famous film stars, and yet she is alone. Such is life for young Juniper: a series of contradictions. The house was a mansion, the lake was a pool, Kitty was a dog, and Juniper Berry was an eleven-year-old girl. JUNIPER BERRY was the winner, so here we go! I’ve been on a bit of a YA kick lately, so it was great to return to middle grade.Ī few weeks ago I did a poll to see which of my Scholastic Warehouse Sale finds I should read and give away next.
