Will Read More of Murielle's Books Murielle writes characters that I love immediately. The voice of the main character immediately drew me in and held me captive through the entire book.

Being a nature lover myself, I adored this book! The magical touches were much appreciated . I also enjoy learning more about different cultures and because of this story, I acquired quite some details about the Native Americans.

I definitely enjoyed this book! A short, quick read, I found myself easily able to identify and relate to Tala and Dason. At first, Tala seemed a bit old for her age, but once you begin to understand more of her background, it seems perfectly in place and reasonable. It’s a great example story for so many things. The adventure aspect was great – I feel it was a good read, even for me, and don’t feel it would be too scary for a younger reader. I also loved the positive examples it showed of sibling bonding and teamwork. I also love the way it incorporated Native American legends and presented a positive, non-stereotypical view of Native American culture. I think part of the reason why I connected so well with this book is that sense of wanting to explore and be independent. You can find that all throughout this book. Overall, a great read, for anyone, adult or teen, looking to escape for a few hours. The characters will grow on you like they grew on me.
