The Puppets of Spelhorst
Kate DiCamillo
illustrated by Julie Morstad 2023
I thoroughly enjoyed this tale by Kate DiCamillo about five puppets left in an old chest marked "Spelhorst". They don't know where they originated from, or where they are going, but they have their own ideas about the world and who they are and want to be. Through a series of events they end up at the house of two little girls and separated from each other. When the elder sister goes about putting on a play with the puppets, DiCamillo expertly weaves together friendship, bravery, love and fate and the story comes full circle. A very sweet tale with illustrations that are just as sweet.
