5.0 out of 5 starsLemony Snicket Meets L. Frank Baum

Straw and the Doctrine of the Ashfolk works on many levels: on one, it’s a whimsical (and resolutely American) fantasy along the lines of the Oz books, and like them. it continually invites the reader to compare what happens in the story with events in the contemporary world—while at the same time displaying a talent for invention that never allows the story to descend into mere allegory or, worse, moralizing. On another level, the narrator’s voice routinely skewers run-of-the mill approaches to storytelling in much the same way Lemony Snicket does in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Together these two streams produce a sweeping and magical story that nevertheless always manages to keep its feet on the ground and encourages the reader to apply a series of subtly delivered lessons to his or her own life. Good for readers 12 and up, but also suitable for reading aloud to younger kids, with plenty of suspense (and a few fatalities) but no terrifying scares.
