What a lovely story. Even though it was well under my age group as intended readers- I got sucked into a nicely weaved fantasy story. Onto the few criticisms- the main character was a little over the top at times (with her abilities) but there was enough set backs to lessen any annoyance that could have; I wasn't quite sure what age group it was intended for- it seems fanciful enough for quite young children but there were some very adult moments- or maybe I'm just out of touch with what kids read these days. All in all, I enjoyed the story and thought the presentation was absolutely wonderful (Hardcover- nice drawings- ribbon book markers). Since its supposed to be the first in a series, I would be interested in the next parts. Nice story, nice read- but it definitely is YA. ( )Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Misfit teenagers, Kaela and Shawn find themselves drawn through "the Hole in the Sky" to save a kingdom from the forces of Gulig and his evil followers, discovering along the way inner strength, new friends and breaking a long standing curse to find peace. I really enjoyed this fantasy novel for young readers. The story presents some of the challenges faced by youth and that love and friendship can be a conquering force in the dilemmas faced in everyday life. The language is easy to read, concepts are not too difficult to follow, and the characters are believable. I will be giving this book to a nine year old for Christmas, with no qualms about suitability for the age, reading ability, or story line. I have read this book from the time it was a raw manuscript through when it is a published book. This is a book about the inner world of a 13 year old girl, how she struggles with the loss of her mother, how she works to keep her heart open in spite of her problems in life, and (quickly in the story) gets the magical life she longs for. This story is driven by character development. There are a lot of characters, spanning 5 generations, 150 years, two worlds, magical beings, and all taking place in about 48 hours. In some books the protagonist has one or two things they have to go through during the course of the story. In this story, you want to say at some point (early in the story), "What next". It's a page-turner, and I love reading and exploring the world Barbara Mahler has created. It's a world we all visit, and the world in which we can all find our growth.
I read this book from cover to cover in the span of a few hours. I felt like I was cheating myself of Kaela and her new extraordinary and supernatural friends whenever I put it down to eat. This book doesn’t contain an extraneous word or a boring scene. The story flows from page to page like a beautiful clear stream. In the end, I still craved for more of Kaela Neuleaf and her cousin Shawn. “How an ordinary day can turn into an extraordinary day… The Hole in the Sky is author Barbara Mahler’s first book in an upcoming trilogy telling an inspired story of adventure, loss, and love. Through vivid description and vibrant detail Mahler weaves a page turning tale that allows the reader to escape, along with the main character, through “the hole in the sky.” "The first impression of the cover art was an instant draw for my daughter. ... I would recommend this story to any one with kids that love fantasy or are looking for a good intro into fantasy….my daughter's score: 2 thumbs up” Appartient à la sériePrix et récompenses
Lured by the entry in her mother's old diary, Kaela Neuleaf enlists the help of her cousin Shawn to understand the message her mother left behind before she died. When an unusual visitor appears and transports them to a land ensnared in a terrible curse - a curse that only Kaela can break - her mother's words become all too real. On her journey Kaela finds beauty and adventure, a bevy of strange and magical friends ... and deadly enemies. -- P.[4] of cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
