She stands in the doorway, light hair loose, holding nothing. It's summer, a hot night crisscrossedby lightning and thunder.Her husband wrenches the little boy away from her. If you’re going to go then just go, he says, and she does, running away into the storm, illuminated briefly by the lightning, rain-drenched and barefoot, gone without looking back, leaving to return, the way he’d always known she would, so begins the story.The Six Days by Anna Carolyn McCormally is an awesome magical adventure novel full of fantasy and mystery. Filled with memorable characters, inspiring prose and heart-pounding story, debutant author Anna weaves a story that many readers won’t forget easily. In Jamie Carpenter, she has crafted an incredibly strong character, amazing for his year.Her creative imagination created a world stupendously enthralling and marvelous. The story is not only engaging and spellbinding but it is also tremendously enjoyable, and avoids the frivolous and inane. The plot twists and turns with each page, keeping one on the edge of the seat. What really excites me is the beauty of the prose, which is like a swiftly flowing river. There is literally no dull moment with The Six Days. If young adult novels are as good as this one, I’m hooked!And it ends: The worlds sealed off from each other, for a little while at least. Rain began to fall in both worlds. Something was complete, though only a few people knew it. The rest of the world knew nothing but what they saw: the rhythmic beat of the rain; and the wicked dance of lightning as it flickered across the sky.
