Faerie
Dragnofire Series Book 3
By Jody
Bergsma
In this spellbinding fantasy about
Nagala, the land of the faeries and elves, there are storms and
obscure menaces that threaten to destroy their world. Rhiannon,
the beautiful Queen of the Faeries, sends her trusted unicorn, Skyla,
and three of the rainbow faeries to the land of Lugin to see what
has happened to Gryphon, and to discover how to dispel a coming
darkness.
Jody
Bergsma's characters are compelling and the plotting is without
flaw as this rich fantasy unfolds to enchant youngsters. Her acclaimed
full-color watercolor illustrations adorn every page. Her spiders
and goblins provide chills, and when Kevin lands at the warty feet
of the ugly Queen Woldy, the goblins chain his neck. The old Queen
drags him off with her, and the suspense escalates. The ultimate
triumph of the beautiful faeries is so satisfying.
This
is a marvelous read-aloud story to be enjoyed with the whole family.
