Happy December, and congrats to Down the Well by Veronica King! I’m honestly pretty surprised this one won by a landslide. Honestly, it wiped the competition out of the park. I don’t know about you guys, but this cover gives me Alice in Wonderland vibes.
Check out the details below for Down the Well, and stay tuned for January’s Book of the Month Poll. Happy reading!
Synopsis
Discover a new world in this portal fantasy where magic is real, animals can talk, and humans are extinct in “one enchanting package.” – Kirkus recommended review
Lore Deoradán wants to be happy when she grows up. But navigating her parents’ mercurial moods, moving to a new town just two weeks before her high school graduation, and dealing with her beloved grandma’s declining health all make that dream seemingly impossible. Will her new job be the first step toward happiness, or will it be yet another disappointment??
When she falls down a well into a magical world with talking animals that haven’t seen a human for years, she must clear her name of the mayor’s murder. Although, how anyone believes she killed a Herculean-sized alligator is beyond her. Now, her survival is tied to a mouse with a chip on her shoulder. There’s also a cat who owns a pub where the animal patrons might be cannibals, a giant snake librarian who probably wants to eat her, and sentient lampposts who are never there when you need them.
Can Lore prove her innocence, help a newfound friend save the town from a dark and dangerous schemer, and find her way home?
