Excerpt from Reader Views Kids Nov. 2008
"The Lost Secret of Fairies: The Crystal Keeper Chronicles Book 1" by Tiffany Turner is a great book about a young girl named Wanda, who becomes a protector, or Keeper, for the fairy clan. She has trouble protecting the fairies because she is stuck between the fairy place and the human world. The author's style was beautiful; not only were her characters very well-developed, but she wrote with lovely and detailed description. I was interested in the book at first sight and wasn't disappointed after reading it... The author described her characters just as well as she described the scenes of the book. I felt like I really got to know the characters. By the end, I even knew Wanda's cat?s personality! I knew pretty much enough about each of the characters to fill a page. From the beginning I realized just how much author Tiffany Turner talks about her characters. The very first sentence reads, "So, you want to know how I became keeper?". In the very next paragraph, you learn what Wanda looks like, what her favorite hobby is, and even more. Right away, my attention was grabbed and I wanted to learn more and more about the characters. "The Lost Secret of Fairies: The Chrystal Keeper Chronicles Book 1" by Tiffany Turner is a very good book with gorgeous cover art, a great, descriptive style by the author, and very well-developed characters, I would recommend this book to my friends, and hope I can read the next in the series, very soon.
