Maggie and Abby's Neverending Pillow Fort

Maggie and Abby have always been locked-at-the-hip pals, at least until Abby spent half the summer at camp on Orcas Island while Maggie was stuck in Seattle, but now they've discovered they are connected in a surprising new way: a passage from the pillow fort in Maggie's living room leads directly to the pillow fort in Abby's bedroom. And that, naturally, is only the beginning. Taylor's debut is a serious charmer, handling its magical premise (and the girls' tween concerns) with just the right balance of goofiness and heart and creating a complex (and wonderfully comfy) hidden world that leaves plenty of room for the sequels that are sure to follow. (Ages 7 to 12)
