Delightful I really enjoy how Shulman wrote this story. She made it so believable, I really felt like I could be friends with all the characters, and could clearly see everything in my head. The plot twists are so unexpected and unique. I recommend this book to anyone ages 10-14 who loves fantasy, some mystery and a lot of fun. This book is also first person, which is my favourite type of writing, and Elizabeth tells the story from her perspective. I really love how the character can tell you what goes through their head, and it’s a lot of fun to read. The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman was a very interesting book to read. It’s about a new girl at school, Elizabeth Rew. She immediately took a liking to her social studies teacher, Mr. Mauskopf. He asks her to meet her in his room at lunch, and she thinks she’s in trouble. But to her surprise, Mr. Mauskopf asked her if she wanted a job at the New-York Circulating Material Repository. She says yes, because her family is struggling financially, but what she didn’t know was there was some weird things coming her way. The job interview was not quite normal, as Dr. Lee Rust ( the head of the repository) asks her to sort a box of buttons. She sorts them into kind of materials, Dr. Rust hands her a button that she can’t quite seem to classify, and she sees the strangest thing, Dr. Rust’s freckles had moved.
