Keturah and Lord Death – Martine Leavitt

This is a sweet little story – Keturah charms her way to live another day by telling Lord Death a story, and those extra days are spent in her town, among the people she’s grown up with. It’s a very generic medieval type town, with fun little characters to meet along the way. I think this is really pressing it as a YA book – it’s a very simple story, but if you want a good, escapist fairy tale, it fits that bill.
