I recently had the pleasure of reading Book 2 in her series, The Secret City, and let me tell you, I couldn't put it down. On the surface this is a children's book, but I assure you grown ups will love it too.The main characters (a bear, a groblin, and a human boy) are wonderfully written. They all take on human characteristics and many times I forgot two of the characters weren't human. As a matter of fact, they were so dimensional, I forgot they weren't real. By the end of the book they felt like friends. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.This is a chapter book with illustrations that look as though they might leap off the page. The story itself is beautifully written and easy enough for a child at the beginning reading level to read on their own or to be read to at storytime. Either way, once this book is picked up the reader won't want to put it down until it's done. A definite 5 stars!
