The Wings of Poppy
Pendleton by Melanie Dobson
Poppy Pendleton, child of Amelia and Leslie Pendleton, goes
missing on the eve of her fifth birthday. She has disappeared from her parents’ castle
on Koster Island. No one has ever solved
the mystery of her disappearance.
Chloe has inherited the castle and island, along with a
candy store from her grandparents. As a
child she was never allowed entrance to the castle. But now the appearance of a little girl,
Emma, demands that she find the truth to the secrets the castle holds.
This time slip novel takes the reader between the present
day and the past. Readers learn more of
Poppy’s history and family while the author skillfully weaves in the present-day
story of Emma, Chloe and Logan.
This book has a complex plot with many surprises but a
satisfying conclusion. Despite dealing
with some of the seamier sides of life in the past and present, the author
handles it gracefully. The characters
are well drawn and very relatable. The
writing pulls the reader into the story.
I enjoyed this book and am grateful to the publisher for a copy
in exchange for this, my honest review.
