The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner

This was the first book I started reading in 2010 and the first book I finished in this new year.

First of all I loved this book. This book is definitely on my favorite book list. It is a historical fiction novel but it's not just a historical fiction novel it also has magic in it. I would recommend this book to someone who doesn't like historical fiction but likes magic and romance. This is also a young adult book.

This book takes place during the French Revolution. This book is about a boy named Yann who is a ventriloquist, can hear people's thoughts, and sometimes see the future. He works for a magician with his guardian Tetu. When they are called to perform a magic show at the Marquis de Villeduval's elaborate house where Yann finds the Marquis' daughter Sido who is hated by her father. Yann finds out that one of the Marquis' guests is a very dangerous man, Count Kalliovski.

And I won't give away anymore. :)

I rate this book 4.5/5
