This book is a sad tale about a young girl in the era of Oliver Cromwell and the Protestants where she has to live as something she isn’t. I really enjoyed I Coriander because it has a brilliant twist and it really shows how terrible life was then. Coriander Hobie was born in 1643 and had two parents called Thomas and Eleanor Hobie who lived in London on the River Thames. Coriander gets locked up in a chest by her terrible stepmother's fiance who is very evil. when Coriander is locked into the chest she gets passed into another world where she has a mission. This book was an thrilling tale and I would really recommend it.

An amazing book combining an exciting part of history and a 'magical' story. Also recommended by Sally Gardner: The Red Necklace and its sequel The Silver Blade.

I adored this book! It's a gripping tale that makes you want to read further and further into the book. At times it was quite dark, but touching and emotional at the same time. Sally Gardener brilliantly combines historical fiction and fantasy in this exciting story. Isobel Roden, Year 8
