Items related to Liesl & Po
A tale of one girl, two ghosts and the most powerful magic in the world.
Liesl lives in a tiny attic bedroom, locked away by her cruel stepmother. Her only friends are the shadows and the mice - until one night a ghost appears from the darkness. It is Po, who comes from the Other Side. Both Liesl and Po are lonely, but together they are less alone. That same night, an alchemist's apprentice, Will, bungles an important delivery. He accidentally switches a box containing the most powerful magic in the world with one containing something decidedly less remarkable. Will's mistake has tremendous consequences for Liesl and Po, and it draws the three of them together on an extraordinary journey.

Product Description:
A delightful, scary and magical novel for children aged 8-12 from bestselling author Lauren Oliver.
Review:
An absolute delight . . . The story is packed with mystery, murder, adventure, humour and magic, but above all it is a beautiful evocation of loss, tempered by the gradual blossoming of friendship, trust and hope. Although aimed at younger readers, the lightness of touch and the tenderness of the message could make grown men weep. (Daily Mail)
A gorgeous story--timeless and magical. (Rebecca Stead, Newbery winner for When You Reach Me)
A wonderfully imaginative, startlingly moving and at times wickedly funny fantasy. With nods to Dahl, Dickens, the Grimms and even Burnett, the author has made something truly original. An irresistible read: this book sings. (Kirkus)
Invigorating and hopeful, this novel testifies to the power of friendship and generosity to conquer greed and depression. (Publishers Weekly)
This original fairy tale, told by a wise and humorous omniscient narrator and peopled with broadly drawn but instantly recognizable characters, avoids sentimentality to show the magic of accepting loss without letting go and finding joy in the lives left behind. (Booklist)
A beautifully written book about loss, family, friendship and discovery - and the illustrations add a touch of magic too. (Press Association)
Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver brings much-needed magic to an increasingly neglected age group . . . there are some exquisitely drawn characters . . . it's books like this, with its classic quest plot, intertwined with lyrical metaphysics, that can set a child up for life. (Sunday Telegraph)
