Loading... May Bird Among the Stars: Book Twoby Jodi Lynn Anderson
None. http://booksandotherthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/06/may-birds-underworld-journey-c... ( )While I enjoyed this sequel to May Bird and the Ever After, I didn't like it as much as the first book. The plot seemed a bit insubstantial, really just a series of encounters at various stops in the Ever After en route to North Farm and then back to the Dead Sea. It just didn't seem as engaging a read, or quite as clever. However, there was a poignant emotional element to it, as May and Beatrice long to reunite with their mothers above all else. And, in contrast, there are some ridiculously funny moments as defences against the nefarious creatures of the Ever After include noogies and musical performances. I look forward to the next book, but am hoping for a more well-developed plot. no reviews | add a review

| Haiku summary |
|
A fearful and fantastic realm located among the stars, the Ever After is full of phantoms and poltergeists, ghouls and goblins, and all manner of things that go bump in the night. And if May is to find her way out again, she must reach the mysterious Lady of North Farm, who lives in a cold, forbidding land that even the spooks find spooky.
With her courageous (yet melancholy) kitty and a ragtag group of spectral friends she's picked up along the way, May is determined to escape the Afterlife. But her travels will bring her face-to-face with her worst fears: a devious pursuer; a truly horrifying dance party under the sea, hosted by the Bogey (aka Boogie) Man; and the Ever After's terrible ruler, Evil Bo Cleevil. And when all of these things collide, there's no telling who will find courage to make it through. . . or who will be left behind.
(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:19:17 -0400)
Still trapped in the Ever After, ten-year-old May Bird struggles to decide whether to save the world of her ghostly friends from the evil Bo Cleevil or to return to her West Virginia home.
