KINDLE
Dwarfs, gnomes, fairies, talking animals, and an evil queen – all these
and more can be found in The Warble, an enchanting tale of adventure and
friendship.
Twelve-year-old Kristina Kingsly feels like the most unpopular girl
in her school. The kids all tease her, and she never seems to fit in.
But when Kristina receives an unusual Christmas gift, she suddenly finds
herself transported to the land of Bernovem, home of dwarfs, gnomes,
fairies, talking animals, and the evil Queen Sentiz.
In Bernovem, Kristina not only fits in, she’s honored as “the chosen
one” the only one who can release the land from Queen Sentiz’s control.
But it’s not as simple as it seems. To save Bernovem, she must place
the gift she was given, the famous “Warble” in its final resting place.
And she must travel through the deep forest, climb a treacherous
mountain, and risk capture by the queen’s “zelbocks” before she reaches
her destination. Guided by her new fairy friends, Clover and Looper and
by Prince Werrien, a teenage boy, as well as an assortment of other
characters, Kristina sets off on a perilous journey that not only tests
her strength but her heart.
The Warble was an interesting fantasy book. Though this is not my normal
genre of reading, I found it to be an intriguing read. The story is
clearly written for middle grade students but anyone can enjoy the book.
I love how the author created the main character to be someone that
many people can relate to. Though she isn't a popular kid, she learns to
find the strength and power within herself. This is a powerful factor
as it shows kids that no matter how bad things are in life, there is
hope. You can persevere and get through anything. It encourages kids to
feel better about themselves no matter what the world thinks of them.
The book also deals with the topic of bullying, which is an important
topic that needs to be addressed. Bullying is NOT okay!!!
I
enjoyed the story. The author is very descriptive and draws the reader
into the story. I could really picture the things going on in the book.
The characters are well developed. I recommend this book to anyone who
enjoys a good story. I give this story 5 stars out of a total of 5stars.
