The Eggchild

This book is great! It is about how a boy, Jasper, who runs away often, runs away again. He goes to the Arbour, where his cousin Rosemary and her brother find and hide him. While hidden, Jasper finds a strange thing. It constantly switches between being an egg and a baby. But when Rosemary discovers that people are trying to steal the Eggchild, the two go on a search to find the owner of the egg.

The Eggchild's great!-Katherine

I love this book! It's about this girl called Rosemary and a boy called Jasper who are cousins. Jasper finds the Eggchild and then they leave the Arbor {where Rosemary lives} to go to Jasper's Home at Quarrantine Castle,and keep the Eggchild safe along the way.
