Lastly, some new reviews of THE FIRE STAR!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A mystery, an adventure, a secret society and an unlikely friendship between a maid and squire\u2026 \u2018The Fire Star: A Maven & Reeve Mystery\u2019<\/a><\/strong> by A.L. Tait has it all<\/em>.” \u2013 Megan Daley,<\/a> Children’s Books Daily<\/a><\/p>\n

“This is an adventure\/mystery that will immediately capture the imaginations of middle grade readers with immensely likeable heroes as well as thoroughly unpleasant villains.<\/p>\n

Maven and Reeve make a terrific pairing as both bring their own backgrounds, upbringing and personal standards to a narrative that is fast-paced and full of excitement.<\/p>\n

Highly recommended for readers from around ten years upwards.” \u2013\u00a0Sue Warren, Just So Stories<\/a><\/p>\n

“Chapters jump between third- and first-person perspective as the story switches between Reeve and Maven\u2019s point of view but the author writes so clearly this does not present a problem. This middle-grade historical adventure novel is suitable for readers aged nine and older and is sure to be enjoyed by AL Tait\u2019s fans.<\/em>” \u2013\u00a0Dianne Bates, Buzz Words Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n
