The next book I have really enjoyed is The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry. The main character, Lucinda Chapdelaine, is a 15 year old girl who has been living with her cruel aunt ever since she was five when her parents disappeared. Her life falls down a deep well when an Amaranth witch shows up at her aunt's jewelry store with a precious stone. Lucinda doesn't know that the stone will soon bring her danger and harm. Other characters who contribute to the plot are a pickpocket, a cute prince, a pet goat named Dog, and an evil lawyer who is after Lucinda's inheritance...and her life.This book fits perfectly into my favorite theme. Julie Berry explains in her book that girls have power too. All they need is initiative to take matters into their own hands. This book-filled with fantasy, adventure, and mystery-tells how a girl can be successful and make her own story in a magical way.
