Book Description:
A world of magic and adventure awaits…
Sent to live with her strict, aloof, and uncaring uncle after her parents are killed in a car accident, twelve-year-old orphan Alyssa McCarthy longs for the life she used to have—one filled with fun and love. Then one stormy night, a message appears in the raindrops on the window that will change everything. “Your life will never be the same again, as magic will interfere.”
Before long, Alyssa is kidnapped by Master Beau, a banished sorcerer with a mysterious connection to her who can only regain his power by weakening hers. Suddenly hurled into a world of wizardry filled with fantastical beasts and marvelous technology beyond her wildest imagination, Alyssa must defeat Master Beau if she ever wants to get home again. But Master Beau will stop at nothing, including using Alyssa’s friends, to ensure he is triumphant.
Originally titled “From Frights to Flaws”, this story is the exciting and enchanting first book in the “Magical Missions”
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
This is my first read from author Sunayna Prasad, and though the fantasy genre is not my usual reads, I enjoyed this one. There is a host of colorful characters that develop well throughtout the story. The main character, Alyssa is more my favorite than the others. I think it is because of the difficulties life has thrown at her, with loosing her parents, as well as her aunt, which brings out a not so good side of her uncle. Forbidding her things she enjoys, being so rude to her because he blames his wife's death on Alyssa. And then, magic starts to happen and Alyssa's life really starts to change. I was quite impressed with the writings of this author. I was taken into a world of fantasyland I haven't experienced in books before, and it was quite delightful. The different scenes were well detailed with each character giving their own personality and flavor to the story. I think this coming of age story would be a really nice one for young girls who enjoy fantasy and a good magical tale with its own touch of wizardry. And a magical thanks to author Sunayna Prasad for writing this enjoyable fantasy that I can understand and enjoy. I am glad to have the opportunity to read and review this one. And I encourage parents of young girls to check this one out for their daughters. There is much happening here in this story, I only touched on very little. Its for you to read and get the full story as it unfolds for you, as you enjoy reading! Oh, and I can't leave out the awesome cover of this book! It gives that frightening look that is so well described throughout this book. The colors are bright, beautiful and any young girl, as well as anyone else will be sure to grab The Frights of Fiji right off the shelves before any other book! A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone.
