The Humming of Numbers by Joni Sensel

The Humming of Numbers by Joni Sensel is a Junior Library Guild Selection.

A would-be monk in a 10th century Celtic abbey teams up with an alluring young wood-witch to escape raiders and plumb the divinity of supernatural experiences, including love.

I enjoy historical fiction, and I was looking forward to reading this Young Adult book since it is set in Ireland. Unfortunately I was disappointed in this book. The concept is very good and exciting, but the story is too predictable and there are not enough twists and turns to keep you glued to the pages.

For middle school readers this book may be very appealing, especially if they don't like long books.
