Special Book Review
"Shelby and the Shifting Rings"
A good mystery keeps your mind active with questions, surprises, and takes you on an adventure throughout the book. Mysteries are good for children -- just perfect for their growing, creative minds :).
The book, "Shelby and the Shifting Rings," by A. M. Veillon, is one such mystery. This compelling story follows the adventures of 12-year-old Shelby, whose life is filled with mysterious situations when she is sent to live with her uncle after her mother dies. After attending boarding school, Shelby takes off on a mysterious journey. Throughout her adventure, she discovers missing pieces to her own life's puzzle, and learns her true identity. Shelby didn't consider herself to be anyone special, but after unlocking many secrets she learned that she was destined to save the world. The book ends with a lead in for the next book in the series.
MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- the story is so enjoyable and captivating...be warned: you may not be able to put the book down :). Shelby is very courageous and very likeable, and is a true heroine. Because of these traits, Shelby is destined to become a children's favorite. Readers will also get a chuckle from some of the names in the story (ie: Mr. Primprop, Mr. Lobnob, and Chef Porkpoke). We highly recommend this wonderful book and are sure it will be enjoyed by all who read it.
