Summary: The Ancient One
Comment: Enter a world of enchantment and foreign creatures as you explore the world of wonders in The Ancient One.You will meet many people and learn the ways of life for different societies. I enjoyed reading this fantasy book because the author mixed very emotional and mythical ideas into the story's plot. Kate visits her Aunt Melanie in Oregon for a peaceful vacation away from home. Her parents are going on a trip and figure that she would like a chance to be with her aunt. Instead of a quiet time to relax with her, Kate gets a far more adventurous surprise. The ancient redwood tree in the middle of a grove of trees unexpectedly transportsKate to a time 5oo years before her own. Her companions are stubborn Jody, who is part of a group of loggers that are threatening to tear down the grove of trees, and a magical walking stick given to her by her own Aunt Melanie. Kate meets a friend, Laioni, who is able to communicate with her because of a special fountain of water that the Stonehags offered to them both. Laioni and Kate are on a mission together to help save all of the people who live in the "Crater of Life" and to restore peace to the communities in the crater. On this journey, the two girls learn about friendship and what a friend will do for another even if they risk something dear and precious. The girls have many victories, but one cannot always win. A great loss comes from this retreat, and the two must help each other to get through their troubles. To succeed in their missions, Laioni and Kate must overcome many fears and obstacles, work together, and most of all learn how to treat all beings with the same respect and dignity, for all have the right to live in happiness together. I recommend this book to all of the readers in this world. It is one of my favorite books because I can connect with the main character, Kate. When I am away from my family, all that I can think about is that I really miss them. Kate and I both love our relatives and spend time with them. It is Kate's only desire to get back to her own time so that she can protect her Aunt Melanie from the loggers. Aunt Melanie is in danger because she alone is trying to protect the endangered grove of trees which is about to be torn down. Love and life are the main lessons taught in The Ancient One. You can learn a lot from this book and also have an enthralling read.

Summary: This is a great book! It is a must have!
Comment: In this book, a thirteen-year-old girl named Kate must team up with a mischievous boy named Jody and an indian girl, Laioni, in order to save two worlds, past and present, and to save Kate's Aunt Melanie from loggers. Meanwhile, Kate also has to get out of the past and into the present time. Boy is she in trouble!
I like how in the book the author is able to make a lot of special creatures, but still give them human-like flaws and charecteristics. I also like the overall plot and how Kate deals with all of the decisions she has to make. This book would be a great one to have!
