The Last Page! The cup and the crown

TODAY'S LAST PAGE ENTRY

FEATURES CHILDREN'S LIBRARIAN KARI ANN ST.JEAN

The Book:  The cup and the crown by Diane Stanley

First Impression:  The cover is so enticing and pretty with Molly wearing a beautiful gown (so unlike the rags she wore in the first book).  I noticed the mysterious raven on the cover of the book also - and I loved the raven's part in the book.  (he was my favorite character)

So Did You Like It? Yes!  I read it really fast - all 344 pages.

The Story?  Well, this story continues Molly's adventures.  She is not a scullery maid anymore. Now she is a Lady.  King Alaric sends her out on a quest to find a loving cup.  I have a pretty good feeling that Molly's adventures have not stopped.  There will probably be a 3rd book!  

Do you have to read the books in order? Yes!  I started reading The cup and the crown and had to return it and get the first book: The Silver Bowl.

Favorite part:  When she flies.
