13 Curses by Michelle Harrison - review

'A great read'

The 13 curses is written by Michelle Harrison. It is the sequel to the 13 treasures and is probably aimed at girls aged 10-14. I would definitely recommend it.

When Red's brother is taken into the faerie realm, she is desperate and will stop at nothing to get him back. To do so, the faeries set her a challenge- find the 13 charms of a bracelet, and return them to rescue her younger brother. But the task is harder than it seems, for the charms are scattered all around the human world.

With the help of her friends, Tanya and Fabian, Red begins the search. But as they start to collect the charms, they discover a horrible twist in the task they have been set. The longer each charm is left, its powers of legend start to come true, but in a more sinister way.

Can Red find the charms before its too late?

Although I enjoyed this book, I found it a bit unbelievable at times. No-one seemed to notice when Tanya and Fabian went off missing for hours on end. Still, it was a great read.
