hi this is magic guy and this book is not a very good book because kate davie is not a good moderator
Your logic is confusing, MG. Poor Ms. Maloy is hardly to blame for my moderation skills. Plus, in another comment you said you liked it. That seems a tad contradictory to me. — Kate Davie
the book is awesome [Off topic info deleted. -- Kate Davie]
hi this is magic guy here this book is awsome [Off topic info deleted. ]
What makes it more awesome than other books? –Kate Davie
This book is so cool yo!
This book is amazing! However, the ending caught me by surprise. I would definitely still read it though, it’s very exciting, and all the magic is really neat. Maile Meloy really needs to write a sequel.
Please see my note to Oceangirl08 — you may get your wish, but we don’t know when! — Kate Davie
The ending really ruined the book. It was really good besides that but don’t read the end.
No flaming warrior, u r wrong
Creeper Man 121, I’m going to ask you to explain why, just as I asked Flaming Warrior. What is it about the book that makes you say FW is wrong? — Kate Davie
I thought that this book was so creative and interesting. It wasn’t as far-fetched as I thought it would be. This Apothecary is very detailed and I strongly recommend this to anyone that loves reading. It’s my favorite book now! It left me wanting more!
Ms. Meloy says on her website that she is working on another novel with these main characters, but it also says that she often works on more than one project at the same time. So it may be some time before we see more of this story! — Kate Davie
creeperman121 you are so wrong
It’s all very well for you to make this assertion, but why? Can you point out to creeperman121 exactly where you disagree? — Kate Davie

Sorry, Magic, but for the time being you are stuck with me as a moderator. Could you please rewrite your comment in more polite language so that I can post it? Thanks — Kate Davie
This book was so good and it was really suspenseful and mystirious.
I’m really looking forward to reading this book because I’m really into war and that kind of stuff.
Please let us know if this title works for you as a war book! — Kate Davie
this book is awesome!!!!
Why do you think it is awesome? — Kate Davie
I love this book so much:D
Stopped reading this book. Not good.
Do you mean it’s not well behaved, or unethical, or not the kind of book you like? — Kate Davie
The Apothecary is about a 14 year old named Janie and her friend Benjamin. Benjamin had an extraordinary dad, the apothecary. The three of them go on a journey across the sea while the escape the Soviet Union and they fly off buildings. I think the Apothecary is a good book for people who love adventurous books.
I am stuck between this book and The silver bowl as far as voting for a book.
I just wish there where more books like these. I love them, They fill me with joy and every time I open them they keep my reading their pages for hours on end.
There ARE more books like these! Your librarian can help you find some. You could also look at DCF lists from other years. They are posted on the DCF website [http://www.dcfaward.org/] If you read the annotations you they will tell you which titles are most similar to these fantasy titles. — Kate Davie
apothecary is what they should read
Agreed! But which “they” are you talking about? — Kate Davie
