[LM_NET] BOOK: I, Coriander by Gardner

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Gardner, Sally. I, Coriander. Dial, 2005. [0-8037-3099-3]

It is London in the 1600s and Coriander's mother has just died, leaving her
with the magic she inherited.  Suddenly Coriander starts traveling back and
forth to from the real world to a magical world.  Her father remarries and
she has a cruel stepmother who tries to accuse her of witchcraft.  While
Coriander travels back and forth to the magical world, she becomes involved
with a young man there who is having problems and meanwhile her stepmother
gets meaner and meaner.  Can Coriander use magic to help her real-world
situation along with helping her new male friend in the magic world.  With
the traveling back and forth between the two worlds, this 280 page book
reminded me a little of Funk's Inkheart series.  Although it took me a while
to get into the book, at the end I found I had enjoyed it.
