Exceptional and Enthralling!
This enchanting treasure of a book is written with such extraordinary attention to detail, that you will immediately be drawn deep into the forest. This is a magical world full of creatures gifted with special powers and whose adventures enthrall and delight. You will get to know what a shapeshifter is, fall in love with dragonets, and Moti and Merthwyn, their wise, nurturing parents. The book will truly delight the whole age spectrum from twelve years on up. The imagery conjured up by Rachael Z. Ikins' ingenious use of words will make you both laugh and tear up! She introduces you to the wonders of wizardry and the happenings in this remarkable place are ripe with lessons for us all.  Observations on respect for one another, our environment, the worth of elders and the importance of doing what is right.<br />An interesting, funny and absorbing book brim full of wonderfully diverse characters. It will leave you wanting to pack a few belongings, don sturdy boots, and to seeking the path that crosses over into this world.<br />A work of unquestionable talent woven in threads of gold, fairy dust and rainbows.....<br />I await more tales with great anticipation.
