Kate the Carver
No one's friend
and no one's daughter"
I liked this book muy mucho! Kate is the daughter of a wood carver. She is also a gifted wood carver - so gifted, in fact, that people think she is a witch. When her father dies and she finds herself on her own, she must battle superstitious attitudes and make a life for herself. When she meets the mysterious stranger, Linay, he offers her a chance to escape the town and begin life anew. All he asks for in return is her shadow. When Kate discovers why he needs her shadow, she must figure out a way to break the curse before it is too late.
This book was excellent! I loved the setting, the characters, and especially the cat! Even though there is no love or "Prince Charming", I have recommended this book to all my kiddos that are into the magical princess fiction (a.k.a. Levine or Baker). It is similar to those types of books but much darker.
