What can I say about The Graces… except that it is one of my favourite books to date! It follows the story of young River, who has just moved to a new town. Of course, as it always goes, she is a loner compared to the other girls who surround themselves around the Graces. The Graces are a group of speculated witches, and people are immediately and inexplicably attracted to them, including River. She is especially attracted to Fenrin, but so are all the other girls. It’s rare that one of the Graces accepts someone else outside of their family to hang out with them, but for some reason they do choose River. She hangs out with the Graces for a long time, and they even become good friends. But eventually (spoilers ahead), a boy that their family is very close to dies, and it’s River’s fault. They now shut her out, and she can’t continue seeing them. They even move away… but they return. What’s in store for River, and are they truly witches? @thesoundofcolours of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
