1: Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
REVIEWED BY: Jeremy Walker, age 12
The "Mistmantle Chronicles" are enjoyble and filled with action, suspense, and adventure. In Book 1, Urchin of the Riding Stars, we are introduced to Urchin, an orphaned squirrel who saves Mistmantle from the evil Captain Husk who tried to take over from good King Brushen. In Book 2, Urchin and the Heartstone, Urchin is kidnapped and taken to the island of Whitewings where he helps to overthrow the evil King Silverbirch and his sorcerer Smokewreath. In Book 3, The Heir of Mistmantle, it is a peaceful summer on the island of Mistmantle, and the animals are busy bringing in the harvest, when the Princess Catkin is kidnapped by Mistress Linty, a nurse who has a mental disorder, and a strange disease begins to spread. Rumors start floating that Lord Husk is still alive, and some animals blame Queen Cedar because she was a "foreigner."
Meanwhile, Urchin and one friend Needle are about to join the Circle of advisors to King Crispin, and another friend, Juniper, is to become a priest. Juniper is also an orphan and overhears a deep, dark secret that will change his life forever. Will Juniper finally learn who his parents were? Is Husk really alive and causing the disease and other troubles on the island? And will Urchin and his friends be able to solve the problems facing Mistmantle and be admitted to the Circle? You will need to read the book to find out. Sometimes it made me feel happy, and other times it made me feel sad. It is a wonderful story for all ages.

2: daughter couldn't put it down
great series --loved and adored by my middle school aged child. if the reader likes fantasy/scifi books by authors like : J.K. Rowling, Garth Nix, Rick Riordan,Jonathan Stroud--then this will also be a hit. these are some fantastic fantasy authors for 6-8th grade.

3: A very good transaction
I received the book, The Heir of Mistmantle (Mistmantle Chronicles, Book 3) here in Germany at my APO (Army Post Office) address in a very short amount of time and the book arrived in perfect condition - I am completely satisfied with the entire transaction have only praise for the whole expereince. I bought book one of the series as well and had an equally good transaction with it. I order frequently on line and am not able to give this kind of rating to all the transactions from all vendors. Review by Mark E. Grant author of the novel - Blood of Scotland (also available through Amazon.com).

4: A great story!
I haven't personally read this but my two children LOVE the series. My son is 14 and my daughter is 11. They are both almost done reading the 3rd book and hope there will be more. I think I will read them when I get some time since they like the story so much. They say it's very exciting with lots of twists and turns.
