Best Ebook Emma and the Banderwigh, by Matthew S. Cox
Ten-year-old Emma doesn’t believe in faerie tales or monsters that secret children away in the night—until she meets one. She lives in a quiet village at the edge of Widowswood with her parents, her Nan, and her little brother, Tam. Ready to abandon the whimsy of childhood, she finds the boredom of chores comforting and Nan’s fanciful bedtime stories silly. One morning, a wan and weary older girl staggers out of the woods and sets the entire town aflutter with whispers of a child-stealing monster lurking in the forest. Nan tells her of the Banderwigh: a dark soul who feeds on sorrow and drains the life from children’s tears. Darkness comes calling on Emma’s happy home, threatening the reality to which she desperately clings. The impossible becomes more and more real, forcing Emma to reach inside herself for the ability to believe. Her family depends on it.

Review "Emma is a delightful protagonist who's logical world is upended, first by superstition, and then by the realization that her superstitions are actually real. Cox weaves a world that will send chills up and down your spine. Beautifully written with an atmospheric tension that draws the reader in. If you're looking for a creepy fairytale-esque adventure, I'd heartily recommend it." - Andrew Buckley, author of Death the Devil and the Goldfish

By The Rock Chick Fairy 4.5What do you do when the things you never believed in came to life?Gosh! Prepare for the adventure!Emma didn't believe. She was a logical girl. She always had an explanation for everything. If you ask me, her attitude is that of a late teenager than that of a kid. Her view of life is kind of advanced. She's a very observant girl. I love that about her. She's also a good daughter, a very dutiful sister and a concerned friend. She's always thinking of other people. She doesn't even want to change her dress because of the person who gave it to her. She's a good kid really.Her story revolves around a story that is feared by many. It's like the dark side of a fairy tale. She doesn't believe in it of course, but fate decides when to turn her into a believer. What happened to her... it's scary. It's traumatic. However, she stood strong. She did cry, but not as much as I expected her to. I imagined myself in her place and it wasn't pretty. She did better and she ended the nightmare all on her own.However...It isn't over yet.That's what you have to look forward to. How does she end it?Her family is awesome all throughout. I love Mom and Nan. They're truly amazing. I don't know what would happen to this story without them.This story is a scary, mysterious story of magic. Just how dark can magic go?I want to have sequel for this. Emma deserves it. :)
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Eerie, quick and engaging! By Sissy Lu This was an easy, quick read and decidedly dark in content without being over the top for a youthful mind. While many may consider this a Young Adult, I would say that it is aimed more toward the Children’s section. That being said I’m thankful that it wasn’t as dark as it could have been.We begin our story with Emma, a little girl who is stubborn in her mindset that fairytales aren’t real, that goblins and faeries do not exist, magick doesn’t exist either. Understandable, because practicality says otherwise! However, as the story progresses it seems that perhaps she was wrong after all.As the book takes twists and turns we learn more about Emma, as well as her family, there is a strong eerie quality to it all and yes more darkness in it as well.Some of the characters, for instance, Emma’s father, prove to be a little more than stubborn and a touch annoying when it comes to their disbelief even when the proof is staring them in the face. However, it was overall a quick, easy read and moved along quickly.The eerie quality was intriguing to my adult mind and something I enjoyed. I just wish there was more depth to it, more background in general and more. Just MORE!
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. There was no compensation given (aside from the enjoyment of reading another book) By Casia P. Courtier I received this book from the author, Matthew S. Cox, for an honest review. There was no compensation given (aside from the enjoyment of reading another book).Emma and the Banderwigh is a book geared towards a younger audience than the other books I've read from Cox. From reading the acknowledgements (something I like to do), I learned that this story had started off as a short story and grew to what it is.If you love fairy tales (like I do), Emma and the Banderwigh is a great addition to your fairy tale collection. Never mind that it is written by a modern-day writer, the story feels like a fairy tale and has similar workings to the fairy tales that we know and love.Emma is a young girl (ten) who doesn't believe in magic. She used to listen to her Nana's stories all of the time and used to believe them, but the real life got in the way. Fairies aren't real. That said, when a girl appears from the woods everything changes.As a character, Emma makes for a believable girl (I love that Matthew Cox can do this). She helps her family whenever she can; she has a sense of loyalty and responsibility. She has a quiet strength to her. She's not the strong-willed character who is brash. She thinks of what needs to be done and does it. She also fights for what she believes to be right, no matter if her opponent is a man or goblin. She is the kind of girl you want your neices or daughters to be.I really liked this story. It was well written and the text had a magic to it that went beyond the actual story. I like Emma as a character and see her as a strong young girl who will be just as strong as she ages. That said, I only have one issue with it... there isn't more.Now, that doesn't mean Cox won't write more of Emma, but it left me wanting to see her have more adventures and grow. I want to know more about the world. I think this book would be a great beginning to a wonderful younger audience book series. One that I would love to follow. Granted, I'm not trying to persuade the author to do that, but I would like that... if at all possible.
