2011 book 156

Jennifer Finney Boylan's Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror
A Harry Potter-ish book for the MG set, this book features young Falcon Quinn, who finds himself attending a school for monsters. But just like before, he feels like he doesn't fit in, b/c no one can figure out what kind of monster he is. Though some plot points are easily telegraphed, there are some surprises in store, and the large cast of characters is very likable (I was especially partial to La Chupacabra and a sweet little Frankenstein monster). B+.
