I know if I was still in the age group for this book, I would’ve thought it was scary. This setting was amazing and I loved how everything was described. Also, these woods are filled with things you don’t want to run into. Tinn and Cole are off on adventures into The Oddmire. Let’s start off by talking about the setting. The pacing kept me on the edge of my seat and the book included some really cute illustrations! The writing is amazing and brings you into a really magical world.

It has everything I look for in a book and even more. I’m so happy I decided to read this book. I read the synopsis awhile ago and that was it. When I picked up Changeling, I went in knowing very little. “Mischief is in the nature of goblins and growing children in roughly equal measure.” Changeling (The Oddmire #1) by William Ritter The boys must leave behind their sleepy town of Endsborough and risk their lives in the Wild Wood, crossing the perilous Oddmire swamp and journeying through the Deep Dark to reach the goblin horde and discover who they truly are. Then when they are twelve years old, a mysterious message arrives, calling the brothers to be heroes and protectors of magic. Tinn and Cole are raised as human twins, neither knowing what secrets may be buried deep inside one of them. Not knowing which to bring back, he leaves both babies behind. Too perfectly: Kull cannot tell them apart. By the time he turns back, the changeling has already perfectly mimicked the human child. After laying the changeling in a human infant’s crib, the goblin Kull is briefly distracted from his task. But when the fateful night arrives to trade a human baby for a goblin one, something goes terribly wrong. To renew it, goblins must perform an ancient ritual involving the rarest of their kind-a newborn changeling. Today I want to talk about the first book, Changeling!Ī big thanks to Algonquin Young Readers for providing me with an ARC on Netgalley! Even though these books can be read separately, it’s still fun to read them all. I’ve really been enjoying them lately, so when I was approached for the blog tour for the second book in The Oddmire series, I couldn’t say know.

We’ve said it before, but middle grade books really are starting to become a bigger part of our TBR.
