Book of the Day #8: The Hotel Balzaar (DiCamillo)

Title: The Hotel Balzaar

Author: Kate DiCamillo

Illustrator: Júlia Sardà

Publisher: Candlewick

Pub Date: October 1, 2024

Summary: “Marta begins to wonder: could the secret to her father’s disappearance lie in the countess’s tales? Book two in a trio of novellas bound by place and mood—with elegant line art by Júlia Sardà—The Hotel Balzaar masterfully juggles yearning and belief, shining light into every dark corner.

Review: “This second entry in DiCamillo’s ‘Norendly Tales’ trilogy features charming black-and-white drawings from Sardà that bring the magic to life. Tied to the first volume with shared themes of love and loss, hope and despair, and darkness and light, this original fairy tale tells its own unique story, ultimately leaving readers with a hopeful message. . . . Enthusiastically recommended.”
—School Library Journal

Notes: Book 2 of 2.
