My Review :
Fiona Thorn & the Carapacem Spell is a fun fantasy book for elementary and middle grade readers. Fiona is a stubborn, young girl with some amazing gifts. She sets out to rescue her friend Jayden who was accused of a crime he did not commit, but determines to do things the hard way. She is rude at times and makes many mistakes but her heart is in the right place. This fanciful story is filled with fun-loving creatures, annoying and adorable princesses, and many other characters both magical and non-magical. An adventure that most kids will really enjoy.
I personally had a hard time getting into the story, but after the first couple of chapters I was able to figure out what was happening and it made the book much more enjoyable. A good book for those who love fairies, fantasy and girls full of mischief.
Jen Barton was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1971 and spent much
of her life on the East Coast. In 2008, at age 36, she and her family
moved to California. With two cars, she and her husband moved two dogs,
two guinea pigs, a cornsnake and their 10-year old daughter across the
country. She counts the five day road trip, including a near escape by
both dogs on Day 3, as one of her best experiences to date. In 2009,
with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Philosophy from Millersville
University, Barton realized her childhood dream to become a writer. One
van full of bored kids, one long day of travel, and Fiona Thorn was
born. She’s been writing ever since. When not taxiing her teenage
daughter hither and yon, Barton loves reading (especially fantasy by
George R. R. Martin), cooking (anything with pasta is a hit), and
writing (magical worlds with obstinate teen girls is always a favorite).
