The Rosemary Spell
By Virginia Zimmerman
280 pages – ages 12+
Published by Clarion Books on December 1, 2015
Synopsis- When Rosemary and her best friend Adam discover an old journal in Rosemary’s house, they didn’t think much of it. Until they read a line from it out loud, and Adam’s older sister just disappears from existence. Now Rosemary and Adam must race against time to get her back, before she is gone – and forgotten – forever.
What I Thought- This was a really suspenseful book, with a lot going on. I couldn’t put the book down, and read it within a day or two. This is Ms. Zimmerman’s first novel in a genre like this, and she does a great job of drawing the reader into the story. Rosemary is a believable character, and one that the reader will sympathize with. The story is more that a great fantasy, it is a very thought-provoking book. It makes you wonder what it would be like to forget a loved one forever – have their memory fade as if they never existed. I enjoyed how Zimmerman intertwined Shakespeare within the story. The book is rated as YA but middle grade readers will enjoy this. At 280 pages, it is a quick story but it feels complete. Very cool cover too.
I give this book five out of five bookworms!

This sounds really good! Love the cover art, too.

I like the sound of this one too!
It’s a neat book. 🙂
I read this review and my mind filled with images of poor Bing Bong.
Who’s Bing Bong?
How dare you!
Go rent the Pixar movie Inside Out right now!
Oh. THAT Bing Bong. (I don’t know why I didn’t think of him – I know of no other Bing Bongs.) 😉
It’s understandable that you would be confused. The West Egg Bing Bongs are quite active in the Society Pages.
I’ll stay out of that. 😉
