Fork-Tongue Charmers by Paul Durham
4.0
This second book in the Luck Uglies series picks up shortly after the first ends. It is important to have read the first for a better understanding of the world in which it takes place.
Riley's father is High Chieftain of the Luck Uglies, and when he summons her on the eve of Silvermas, she goes without questioning it. But an ambush awaits her, one which breaks a Luck Uglies' agreement. It appears that there is a revolt brewing within the Luck Uglies. This is in combination with Longchance's new constable, who is enforcing laws with even harsher punishments. He seems to have a vendetta not only against the Luck Uglies, but specifically against Rye and her mother. With the help of Quinn and Folly, Rye does all that she can to fight against this new threat and save her family. But people are not always who they seem, and they must beware of double-crossing, even among those they trust the most. This action-packed adventure will appeal to fantasy lovers in grades 4-8.
