#BookTour: ESTRANGED by @EthanMAldridge @JeanBookNerd #Giveaway




Edmund and the Childe were swapped at birth. Now Edmund lives in secret as a changeling in the World Above, with fae powers that make him different from everyone else—even his unwitting parents and older sister, Alexis. The Childe lives among the fae in the World Below, where being human makes him an oddity at the royal palace, and where his only friend is a wax golem named Whick.

But when the cruel sorceress Hawthorne takes the throne, the Childe and Edmund realize that the fate of both worlds may be in their hands—even if they’re not sure which world they belong to.

Praise for ESTRANGED

“A splendid tale of faery magic and adventurous siblings, all told in gorgeously rendered watercolor panels: this is exactly my kind of thing.” —Ben Hatke, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Zita the Spacegirl trilogy

“It’s got dragons. It’s got drama. It’s got depth. And it’s got me impatiently awaiting Ethan M. Aldridge’s next eye-popping adventure.” —Tim Federle, award-winning author of Better Nate Than Ever and Five, Six, Seven, Nate!

“A compelling story about finding identity in a world where magic dangers lurk just around the corner. I loved Estranged!” —Molly Ostertag, author-illustrator of The Witch Boy

“As richly imagined in the full-color illustrations, the worldbuilding is both accessible and as familiar as those genre stalwarts… this should easily resonate with preteen and teen fans of both Holly Black and Neil Gaiman.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Worthy of inclusion in any fantasy collection.” —School Library Journal

“[F]un, daring, and dark...with themes and art that fall into the realm of Neil Gaiman, Michael Ende, and Jim Henson. Coupled with the beautifully toned watercolor art, the interdependence of and tension between the two protagonists makes this book stand out.” —Publishers Weekly


“The deliciously captivating start to this adventure series will leave readers hungry for more.” —Booklist

This title was reviewed by our children and middle grade reviewers!

Anarece 5 stars 
This graphic novel for kids ages 8-12 was one that I fell in love with.  The artwork was very beautiful and the story was easy to follow.  I would love to read another story set in this world with these characters.  Edmund was my favorite character becuase, he kept getting in trouble and it was so funny.  I really want this to be a movie or tv show!  I think the age group to 8-12 was a good range for reading this book!  


Alexis 5 stars 
This one I really liked the artwork.  I thought it was kind of neat that one of the characters had my name.  I thought that the idea that you could shapeshifter and throw fire out of your hands was pretty cool.  The story was well paced for the story and I can’t wait for more.
