The Black Shard..A Must Read!!

My name is Kelsee. I am 10 years old and today I am taking over my mom's blog to tell you about an incredible book you need to read called "The Black Shard" by the talented writer Victoria Simcox It is full of action, excitement and lots of twists and turns.  It is a book you don't want to put down. 
                                                               
The sequel to The Magic Warble is an incredible exiting tale about how Kristina Kingsley
randomly is back in the land of Bernovem, where she meets Werrien again and catches up with all her friends there. When Kristina arrives she is not used to all the attention, statues, people exited to finally meet her, and when they head to Tezerel the boat they went on was named after her!! She is reunited with all her friends and life seems perfect.  But when Werrien becomes fascinated with an unusual seeing stone the Black Shard. The morning they got on the ship Kristina did not have a very good breakfast, and from then on she felt terribly sick. On the way of this incredible trip Werrien and Kristina spent much time together. Kristina is haunted by a ghostlike hag.  Stuggling against lots of obstacles and ultimately the one who wants to possess her soul.  After a few days on the ship they stopped at an island where Werrien and Kristina went swimming.  When they were going back the " old hag" tried to drown her and left cuts in her leg. Kristina did not have very good luck on this trip, but discovers she the most strength she has ever had.

I recommend you read this series.  It is so good!  My mom loves these books too!!

The Magic Warble & A GREAT GIVEAWAY!!

Today's post is not the usual post you see here, but hold on it is for great reasons!! I had the opportunity to read a book by the author Victoria Simcox called:
I was in need of a great book to read and this one was that!!
Twelve- year- old Kristina Kingsley, never felt like she fit in.  She had a great family, but the kids at school would tease her any chance they got.  Her best friend was her pet rat named Raymond.  Little did Kristina know that a strange Christmas gift would change her life .   After opening the gift she finds herself magically in the land of Bernovem, which is home to dwarfs,fairies, gnomes, talking animals and the evil Queen Sentiz. 
     In Bernovem, Kristina not only fits in but is honored as "the chosen one". She is the only one who can release the land from Queen Sentiz evil power.  In order to do this she must place the gift she was given, "The Magic Warble" in it's final resting place.  This is no easy task for there are many miles and obstacles she must make it through.  All the while she must avoid caught by the queen's zelbocks.   Luckily, Kristina is guided by Prince Werrien, a teenage boy, two fairies named Clover and Looper as well as many other characters to help her on this dangerous journey.  It is during this time that Kristina finds her strength and true friendship.  She also gets the chance to take revenge against the kids who treated her so badly...but will she do it???  You'll have to read to find out.
     This book moves quickly and had many twists and turns that keep you guessing.  It is written for ages 9-13 and it is perfect for this age group, but I enjoyed it very much!!  I could not put it down, it kept me engaged the whole time.  I am excited for my daughters to read it next!!   A HUGE THANKS to Victoria for sending me the book!!
