Resourceful fourteen-year-old Odette is on the move again, traveling as a stowaway on a cheese cart with her hapless mother, Anneline. They are in Burgundy, France, in 1799, fleeing yet another calamity caused by Anneline (who is prone to killing people accidentally). At dawn they find themselves in a town called Nevers, which is filled with eccentric characters, including a man who obsessively smells hands, another who dreams of becoming a chicken, and a donkey that keeps the town awake at night, braying about his narrow life. As Odette establishes a home in an abandoned guardhouse, she makes a friend in the relaxed Nicois and finds work as a midwife's assistant. She and Nicois uncover a mystery that may lead to riches and, more important for Odette, a sense of belonging.
Review
"Nevers is a marvelous and magical book with an unforgettable heroine--prepare to be transported!"--Esta Spalding, author of the Fitzgerald-Trouts series
"This brief sojourn in an alternative 18th-century France is an unexpectedly rich one."--Kirkus Reviews
"Nevers is a funny story, simply told, with a delightful heroine. It has been a long time since I've read such a convincing, relevant historical novel for children."--CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"In Nevers, readers will be spellbound by the magic and mayhem of Odette and Anneline's life in motion. Against a rich background of post-Revolutionary France, they'll learn of perseverance, friendship and love in many forms. Cassidy is a master storyteller, and her fresh imagery and wordplay, along with a well-paced plot and a diverse cast of characters, are a real delight."
--Julie Paul, author of Meteorites and The Pull of the Moon
"Readers will enjoy the quirky characters...While the pacing is quick, the story never feels rushed. A worthy addition to middle grade collections; give this to fans of Adam Gidwitz's The Inquisitor's Tale."--School Library Journal
