The Anybodies

One book that I could read over and over again is "The Anybodies" by N. E. Bode.  It's about a girl named Fern who is strikingly different from her family.  She has known this all her life, but it only really sets in when a mysterious man who calls himself The Bone arrives at her door.  He claims to have mistakenly taken her parents' child, and in truth, the boy looks more like her parents, and she looks more like The Bone.  Once home, Fern is taught how to become an Anybody, a person who can change their looks to become anyone or anything.  She is quickly wrapped up in a world of magic and mysteries, but can she find her way out?
I really like this book because the author actually interacts with the reader.  They ask the reader questions and talk to them as if they were there.  Also, the imagery used in this book is fantastic, with illustrations scattered here and there among the pages.  I would recommend this book to anybody!  :)

Keep reading!
