The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman | Book Review

It is rare when the contents of a book are as lovely as the book’s cover, yet The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman has a gorgeous cover and the most delicious prose. I found the book to be reminiscent of the most dark and dangerous Grimm fairy tale. It’s a young adult book that was quite […]
