- W4236278069 abstract "Reviewed by: Falling In Kate Quealy-Gainer Dowell, Frances O'Roark. Falling In. Atheneum, 2010 [272p]. ISBN 978-1416950325 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 4-6 Isabelle Bean is one of those kids that confounds adults: a quiet but not at all shy girl, she never intentionally breaks the rules but manages to get in trouble anyway, and she insists that there is more to the world than grownups know. On her way to the principal's office one day, Isabelle's assertions are confirmed when she opens a closet door and falls into a world where fairies make off with babies, a murderous witch hunts a group of children, and true friendship may finally be a possibility if only Isabelle can convince the kids that she is not the witch. What begins as an innocent foray into a new world to find adventure soon turns into a struggle to redeem a guilt-riddled woman and save an entire village of children. Deftly blending fairy-tale mystique with middle-school drama, Dowell manages to create a tale that is both thrilling and tender. Isabelle is a sympathetic odd duck, to whom any young reader who has ever felt like the outcast will immediately relate. The story takes a distinctly dark turn, particularly when the witch's past traumas are revealed, and Dowell's nuanced characterizations provide readers the opportunity to explore both the children's and the witch's motivations for cruelty and cowardice, making this as much as a study in human relations as it is a fairy tale. Since the villains and the heroes here are not as cut and dried as those of traditional bedtime stories, readers beginning to question the complexities of Hansel and Gretel or Alice in Wonderland will find themselves pleasantly intrigued.
