Bear
Kingdom and the Golden Sword by Stacie Eirich 5 stars
Suzie,
her twin brother Jack and two friends are tasked with rescuing the
Tiger Queen, her cubs and the Book of Destiny in the Bear Kingdom.
This is obviously the sequel to a story that takes place in the Tiger
Kingdom (to be followed with another in the Dragon Kingdom). In this
middle grade book, the heroes are armed with magical articles and
helped by rhyming mythical animals. It's a heart-warming tale despite
the cold climate of the Bear Kingdom. Even the villainous Bear King
turns out to be good, but under an evil spell. No mention of who cast
it. I enjoyed this easy read.
The
Rose Thief by Clair Buss 5 stars
When
someone steals many of the royal roses, Ned, the Thief Catcher, is
asked by the Emperor to find the thief and keep them from stealing
the red rose of love. Thus begins a much more complex romp than I
expected at first. Little is what or whom they seem. So many
wonderful characters inhabit this story, but my favorite is Jenni,
the lisping sprite. Head hopping and occasional misspellings didn't
deter my many chuckles or that lol moments.
