5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Tepper's best., Aug 23 2010
By Kyle Maxwell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marianne, the Matchbox and the Malachite Mouse (Paperback)
The book, while very short, is one of Tepper's best. Atypically, it even features a strong male character. All three of the Marianne novels are quite good, though somewhat hard to find these days.

This review is from: Marianne, the Matchbox and the Malachite Mouse (Paperback)
In this book, Marrientie's aunt, (or great-aunt) shows her a golden matchbox that her father received from some stranger. Inside the box, there is a roll of parchment that is a gameborad, complete with game pieces and dice. Whn Marrinette rolls the dice and places a malchtine mouse on the starting square, she is immediently transported to another universe, (so to speak) and has been transformed into a malchintine mouse. When others follow her, trying to resuce her, they all discover a plan worse than any they could have dreamed of, a plan to take over the world....
