1: by Steven Maus, author of Branchwater
Patrick Carman has crafted a wonderfully charming account of a girl with a spirit that can't be contained within the walls of Bridewell. Young Alexa Daley embodies that wish which consumes children and adults alike - the wish to leave behind the dreary confines of everyday life and discover something wonderous and alive, brimming with adventure and excitement. That is exactly what Carman gives his readers; the chance to escape into the pages, and to flee the restraints of this world, and to travel with Alexa to solve the mysteries of the world.

2: Wonderful for children or adults
Great series that my son & I read together. I was as anxious as he to read the next chapter and next book. We have purchased more of this author as a result.

3: In the realm of CS Lewis
Wow... we have been big fans of Patrick Carman from the beginning of this trilogy and have enjoyed every book to follow! While my daughter, when we began this series, was definitely old enough to read on her own - we had just finished reading the Narnia series together and wanted to continue our family reading time with a similar style of writing! These books did not disappoint! In the age of Harry Potter popularity - this series features a 12 year old heroine that was a great character to relate to and look up to for our daughter. The other characters in the book are lovable and humorous and the books offer many twists and turns and suspence - even some tear jerker moments and laugh out loud scenes as well! I highly recommend this series for any family... your kids will love them, but don't miss out on them yourself! They will soon be 'classics' in their own right!

4: Land of Elyon - Boxed Set
My daughter loves this series, only one complaint one of the books was missing the print on some pages.

5: Wonderful reading for the entire family!
We actually listened to book #1 while on a road trip.
The family enjoyed the book so much that we have purchased all three books to add to our personal book collection. Now we are fighting over who gets to read them first!
Land of Elyon Book 1, The: The Dark Hills Divide (Land of Elyon)
