The grand residence of the famous alchemist, Mr Fountain, is a world away from the dark orphanage Rose has left behind. For the house is positively overflowing with sparkling magic—she can feel it.

Evaluation Based On Books Rose (Rose #1)
Maybe 3.5 StarsThis was billed as "Downton Abbey" meets "Harry Potter" -- so tantalizing! I don't feel it really delivered, though. On one hand, I really enjoyed some parts of it--there was charm, humor and some interesting world-building at times. I was intrigued with the idea of magic belonging to the upper class--it seems that only upper-class are wizards, and magic can be bought and sold, such that only the wealthy can afford to have magical things/spells. I feel that the author tried to

Hmm.For a while, I wasn't actually sure I wanted to finish this book. But I did, so I guess--in the end--there was enough to keep me reading. I think it was mostly that I just kept hoping it would get better. It wasn't terrible. But it wasn't good, either. And I'm disappointed about that, because I think it could have been a wonderful tale of mystery and intrigue, set against an alternate-universe backdrop that had the potential to be so exciting!- Rose, our orphaned main character.

*NOTE:This is a review of the entire series*Typically, I don't read a lot of middle grade novels. I used to love them when I was younger. As an adult, I feel that I am so beyond the intended audience that the magic and wonder is lost on me. However, I've been on this kick lately where all I want to read is middle grade. I'm glad that I am. I read all of the Rose series by Holly Webb in one day, and I loved it. It brought all of the magic and wonder back into reading middle grade novels.Holly

I received Rose by Holly Webb from Netgalley to review and just couldnt wait to read it. It was released in the UK for a while but is newly being released in the US. I look forward to getting this whole series ordered over here in Hong Kong. I have a feeling Ill be able to get the UK edition of the books though! Pretty bright covers for them!I recently sat with my son and watched the movie Annie and he was pretty astounded that I knew most of the words to most of the songs. Id forgotten how much

This was fine - a pleasant middle-grade alt-victorian-era-but-with-magic adventure, with a plucky pragmatic heroine having adventures below stairs and above. Irresistible, for someone who grew up reading Frances Hodgson Burnett, Barbara Brooks Wallace, and so forth. The story arc is very straightforward: Rose gets a position as a housemaid in the house of a wizard, is disconcerted to discover her own magic while trying to fit into her new life in service, and gradually gets drawn into

I came upon this book quite by accident and since my name happens to be Rose, I decided to read it. The main character, Rose was placed in a fish basket as a baby and left on the front steps of St. Bridget's Home for Abandoned Girls. All of the girls in this home are taught to read and write and most importantly how to be a maid in an upper class home in London. When Rose is ten years old she is chosen to live in the mansion of a famous alchemist who does magic for royalty. After living there
