Review: The Amaranth Enchantment

Hey Guys!
So I just finished reading The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry...and i've got to say - it was very good! This isn't a book we're reading in library club, were half way through City of Bones. It is a book I picked up in the paper store this weekend because it looked interesting :) So I won't give away any spoilers (don't worry wendy!) but I will give you a sense of what it's about...So it starts with a girl about our age who lives with her wicked step aunt and her uncle who has no power when the aunt is around...but Lucinda (the main character) hasn't always lived with them. She remembers watching her mother get ready for a ball more than ten years ago..She remembers her father and mother stepping into a carriage...and not coming back...After that all she remembers is living with her uncle and aunt at their jewelery shop and playing "cinderella." UNTIL one day...odd sorts of people start appearing at the shop..princes....beggar boys.....and Amaranth, a mystifying women who is rumored to be a witch. Amaranth will ask Lucinda to complete a quest that has you glued to the pages. I won't say anything more, but if you all have time between homework and everything else going on - be sure to pick up this book :)
Thanks!
