Swyler's writing surpasses her first book. This is a beautiful story, well told, poignant. The main protagonist is an eleven year old girl, Nedda, smart and ambitious. She desires to reach the stars. It is also a story of love, loss, and discovery. It's classified as fiction, yet the story opens in space on board a module traveling to a new planet. The science--chemistry and physics--are not overwhelming and are important to the story. This is a book I would read again.

Loved the pictures in the book loved the flow of the story easy for them to fallow along

All the animals are beautiful and I like the book a lot because it tells facts and I learned some things

Great for early readers.

Highly detailed, historical fiction of Saxon rule in pre-England and numerous battle scenes between Saxons and Danes (Vikings). A good read!

Just love the characters how much they go through just keeps you wanting more

I was extremely surprised by this book! It was a very fast read filled with romance, drama and suspense! This book was a blend of Nora Roberts meets Iris Johansen. You are able to connect and feel for the characters; they are all interconnected more than you know, but easy to keep track of and follow since the number of characters isn't cumbersome. The plot stayed engaging and kept you asking questions, wanting to find out more. Overall a fun, light, quick read! I will definitely pick up more by her!

Great summer read! Just as good as the first book,Every summer after!

I couldn't put this book down. Congrats to piccout on another amazing story.

I’m excited to read the sequel
