Book Nook: Return of the Evening Star

I previously reviewed book one in the Silver Mountain series, and book two is about to be released - Return of the Evening Star. 

A mysterious hospital deep in the Oregon woods is sending marauding ambulances into the countryside, looking for new patients. Mowing down anything in their path, the deadly ambulance drivers have forced the people and animals of the land into hiding. Twelve-year-old Chloe Ashton has returned to Fairfax and is desperate to find her mother. Together with her friends―the magical cook Mrs. Goodweather, carpenter Brisco Knot, and clever white rat Shakespeare―she hatches a plan to enter the hospital and stop the bloodshed. At the same time a rumor reaches them from the east: Silas the Stargazer is coming, and he is bringing an army. An animal army.

This is the kind of book that is great for fantasy fiction fans, those who love animals, those who are looking for books with strong female characters - just about anybody who enjoys young adult literature! You'll enjoy it more if you've read the first one, so I encourage you to check both of them out!
