Not even received the book yet.

Great book. But the service I am receiving is not as great as I would have liked. Bought many books in the past. Bought this book weeks ago and not even seeing it in my order.

Great Fantasy Series

I have now read all four in the Mistmantle series and I loved every one, I was first intrigued by the wonderful cover art and was soon captured by the story. Urchin and his friends have many adventures fighting for the safety and the goodness of their life. There is always Hope and HEart throughout their story. I can't wait for the next Mistmantle

Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review

REVIEWED BY: Jeremy Walker, age 12 The "Mistmantle Chronicles" are enjoyble and filled with action, suspense, and adventure. In Book 1, Urchin of the Riding Stars, we are introduced to Urchin, an orphaned squirrel who saves Mistmantle from the evil Captain Husk who tried to take over from good King Brushen. In Book 2, Urchin and the Heartstone, Urchin is kidnapped and taken to the island of Whitewings where he helps to overthrow the evil King Silverbirch and his sorcerer Smokewreath. In Book 3, The Heir of Mistmantle, it is a peaceful summer on the island of Mistmantle, and the animals are busy bringing in the harvest, when the Princess Catkin is kidnapped by Mistress Linty, a nurse who has a mental disorder, and a strange disease begins to spread. Rumors start floating that Lord Husk is still alive, and some animals blame Queen Cedar because she was a "foreigner." Meanwhile, Urchin and one friend Needle are about to join the Circle of advisors to King Crispin, and another friend, Juniper, is to become a priest. Juniper is also an orphan and overhears a deep, dark secret that will change his life forever. Will Juniper finally learn who his parents were? Is Husk really alive and causing the disease and other troubles on the island? And will Urchin and his friends be able to solve the problems facing Mistmantle and be admitted to the Circle? You will need to read the book to find out. Sometimes it made me feel happy, and other times it made me feel sad. It is a wonderful story for all ages.

daughter couldn't put it down

great series --loved and adored by my middle school aged child. if the reader likes fantasy/scifi books by authors like : J.K. Rowling, Garth Nix, Rick Riordan,Jonathan Stroud--then this will also be a hit. these are some fantastic fantasy authors for 6-8th grade.

A great story!

I haven't personally read this but my two children LOVE the series. My son is 14 and my daughter is 11. They are both almost done reading the 3rd book and hope there will be more. I think I will read them when I get some time since they like the story so much. They say it's very exciting with lots of twists and turns.
