Holly Webb Rose

* Rose is the fantastic first book in the Rose Series by Holly Webb.

To family and friends, I would describe Rose as entertaining, exciting and certainly very magical.

Rose, an-about-ten-year-old orphan at St Bridget's Home for Abandoned Girls, unexpectedly gets a job as a servant in the magical house of Mr. Fountain, a very rich alchemist.

But things start to get very weird...

I like this book because it is different and interesting. I think the era that Rose is set in (about the 1900s) adds to the story, and is very attractive and inviting.

Before I bought Rose, I would have liked to know what age this book is for, but now I know that it is for 9-10 year-olds - and you can take it from me, as I AM a ten-year-old!

I think Rose is a lovely book, and I hope you will give it a try too, because it is well worth it, I think.

Also, look out for the Rose Sequels;

Rose and the Lost Princess and Rose and the Magician's Mask.
