review 1: What an entertaining, superbly written, and well researched novel! I really loved the setting, the cast of characters and who can resist pirates! As I have always had a deep interest in the Gullah and Gullah and e preservation of Gullah culture I found the book fascinating. Though much is glossed over in an attempt to tell the story to teens, I believe one can appropriately use their education and imagination to fill in the gaps. Book 2 is a definite to-read.
review 2: Although Conjure by Lea Nolan is a YA book, it can easily be read by older MG readers because its tone felt a bit younger, particularly since the main character, Emma, was only fourteen and repeatedly thought about how dreamy her crush was. While I liked Emma, I found her twin brother Jack
... moreto be whiny and kind of selfish. To me, the most interesting and unique thing about Conjure was the incorporation of hoodoo. I’m not going to lie: before I read the book, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you the difference between hoodoo and voodoo. Not only do I know the difference now, but I actually felt like I learned quite a bit about hoodoo from reading Conjure. It’s very clear that Nolan did a significant amount of research on the topic! less
