Twins Truman and Camille have been deserted by their father. Now their mother is leaving them for three weeks with their paternal grandmother Swelda, whom they’ve never met and only know from her disappointing gifts of soap and ChapStick. Things look up when Swelda turns out to be weird but cool. When she tells the twins an entrancing tale of the Ever Breath, a mystical force inside an amber globe that protects our world and the Breath World, a world of fantasy and dreams from which our Fixed

Long, long ago, the world was inhabited by all sorts of folks and creatures, magical and mundane, before it was split into two worlds. Our world is the Fixed World, a place of no magic but whose creativity and imagination derive from our proximity with the Breath World, where all the magical creatures live. The worlds are connected by the Ever Breath, which resides in a passageway and has been guarded since time immemorial by a special family with ties to both worlds.

THE EVER BREATH surprisingly and happily brought me back to memories of days when I devoured books by Eva Ibbotson, Roald Dahl, and the like. Young readers about to move past too-easy chapter books will eagerly swallow up this old-fashioned kid-versus-evil adventure tale.
Truman, Camille, and almost all of the characters are remarkably well developed. Truman, with his countless allergies and medical problems, manages to find his place in the Breath World, while his tough-exterior sist More...

Ever Breath is a short, whimsical fantasy. Within the first few pages I was captivated and quickly drawn into the magical world of Ever World. After the mysterious disappearance of their father, twins, Truman and Camille Cragmeal, end up staying with their Grandmother Swelda who lives on Swallow Road in a house in the middle of a golf course!
From Swelda, Truman and Camille learn the truth about their family. The world we live in is the Fixed World, and then there is the magical More...

Everbreath is a short fantasy adventure with plenty of twists and turns. After the unexplained disappearance of their father, twins, Truman and Camille are brought to their Grandmother Swelda who lives in a house on a golf course! How cool is that. Probably not as much as you would imagine, given that the golf balls hit the roof and the windows are boarded up. It is at this house that the children learn about their ancestors and the Fixed World and Breath World are explained. It is not surpr

Truman Cragmeal is visiting his grandmother Swelda's home. Little does he know that Swelda's home sits on top of the mystical world, The Breath World. When the passageway between our world, The fixed world, and the Breath world is broken, Truman must go on an adventure to find where the Ever Breath went and what really happened to his father.
The reason I gave this book 4 stars is because it leaves you on a CLIFF HANGER!! I really don't like cliff hangers!!
I would recommend More...

The story takes on good vs. evil and leads children to question start quesitoning if those who label themselves as good are really the good ones and if the rebels are truly evil. The story is engaging and action paced. Can't waite to read the sequel.

a cute magical story, but not very developing, compared to other fantasy books. One in a series, interested read, more simplified probably for a younger audience. But it was still okay. I will probably read the sequel when it comes out, but I am in no rush.

A sweet and imaginative novel about a magical world existing parallel to ours. But dig a little deeper, and this novel serves also as a commentary on the use of fear as a way of controlling people. Give it to a smart kid in your life!

I really enjoyed this, especially the way the main characters reversed their roles and became surprisingly new and different. The book is vivid, well written, with a great line-up of secondary characters.
I liked it well enough to blurb it. As follows:
"This book is full of all the best fantasy things: magic, adventure, peril, dragons, unlikely heroes, and last-minute rescues. It's an enormous amount of fun."

This book is another one about two worlds: one with magic and one with very little magic. It involves twins (very different) and a rescue attempt. I look forward to the sequel coming up in Fall/2010. I have found that I like all of Julianna Baggott's books that I have read, and am now reading ones she wrote under another name: N.E. Bode.

This is a book that I'm really going to enjoy reading to my daughters in a few years, when they're eight and up. Funny, witty, and fast-paced.
