    A Silver Story
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2011*

There's a touch of Upstairs, Downstairs in this book about a roughly raised poor girl who is sent to the king's castle to work as a scullery maid when she is only seven. Little by little, she learns to get along with the castle staff and do a good job. Her one encounter with royalty tells her that princes are snobs. But she rolls up her sleeves and gets back to scrubbing the pots, encouraged in her endeavors by her friend Tobias, the donkey boy. In time Molly is promoted to silver polisher, and her life path seems plain. She ignores the fact that she once saw a vision of the future, telling herself she imagined it.Except--it turns out the royal family has been cursed, and the irrepressible Molly learns she has a strange connection to the events of the cursing. But first the king and his sons suffer greatly, until the entire castle worries what might happen next. And Molly starts seeing more visions in the great silver bowl she has been assigned to polish by Thomas, the keeper of the castle's silver. Molly had believed what she was told as a child, that her mother was crazy, but was she really just a witch? And is Molly a witch, too?When things get bad for Prince Alaric, Molly and Tobias take a series of huge risks to protect him. I like the way their cleverness and practicality makes them perfectly capable of handling a horrible situation. Under pressure, Molly and her friend's qualities shine like polished silver.Part mystery, part fairy tale, part reconciliation of class differences, The Silver Bowl is altogether satisfying as the pieces come together. Molly uses her visions from the bowl to help solve the mystery, though she has difficulty figuring out who the true villain might be, to her great peril. Fortunately, Tobias is there to help, and even Alaric begins to contribute usefully and a bit more humbly to their plans. Stanley builds suspense as Alaric becomes the last royal standing and his common-born friends turn out to be the only ones capable of saving his throne from his greedy cousins and the shadowy figure of the curse-maker.Here's an excerpt from a scene early in the book, when Tobias takes Molly upstairs in the castle:"'We must be silent as ghosts, Molly. And if one of them should come into the room, look down in a very respectful manner, and do not meet their eyes, for they don't wish to be reminded we are about.''Why? If I had a castle full of servants, I'd be glad to be reminded of it.''Well, they are not. We are as common as lice to them, and just as interesting.'"Diane Stanley's message about valuing those who seem to have less social value doesn't distract from the sweep of her storytelling in this well-written fantasy. I recommend it to fans of books like Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted, Shannon Hale's Princess Academy, and Jessica Day George's Princess of the Midnight Ball.Note for Worried Parents: The Silver Bowl is being marketed for teens (YA), perhaps because of a handful of grisly deaths and some peril, along with the eventual ages of the protagonists, but it reads as upper middle grade (MG) to me.

    Re reading the series
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017*

I love this book as well as the one succeeding it, and I just now have decided to re-read them. I have not read the third book yet as I forgot of its existence, but I can't wait to. These books are filled to the brim with adventure and evolution of character. I couldn't take my eyes off the page, resulting in being up till midnight to finish. I suggest to anyone to give this book a try, for fantastical adventures lie within.

    An enjoyable getaway
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2014*

Full of daring-do, practical magic, and a bit of mystery, the heroine is refreshingly honest and accessible. She's a person of the working class. The sub themes of common humanity trumping the feudal caste system, a lowly woman trumping the royals -- it is very satisfying how the author works it out. A very entertaining read.
