Writer's Digest Book Awards Evaluation

The RING FROM RAIRARUBIA is an intriguing middle-grade fantasy with many good traits going for it. First, the relationship between Molly and Netty is realistic and not syrupy, like may middle-grade character relationships can be. This is important to readers of this age group. It also portrayed Molly as a hesitant hero, which played off Netty's personality nicely and lent a bit of HARRY POTTER feel to her character. Obviously, kids will love this part of the story. Also important is the fact that this is a series, which young readers love, and I think will be intrigued enough to read all the books in the series. I really enjoyed the imaginative touches the author incorporated into the story, like the ring and the pebbles, and also I enjoyed the different characters, again, with Molly and Netty being my favorites. The ending was really exciting, but bittersweet, and kids will love the way the author makes them think Molly will never get to go back to Rairarubia, but then leaves the door open with the mysterious visit of a person named Richard wanting his ring. A great read for fantasy lovers!

Molly feels that strange events are signaling her to return

The fifth book in the award winning and justifiably acclaimed action/adventury fantasy series for young readers by W. Royce Adams, Ring From Rairarubia tells of a young girl and her best friend, and adventures in the magical land of Rairarubia. At first, young Molly's contact with Rairarubia seems to have ended with the disappearance of the pebbles once used to travel there, yet Molly feels that strange events are signaling her to return a ring that she has brought back from the mystical land - but how is she to do this? A most engaging and well-written tale, sure to please young adults who have followed the impressively original series by Royce Adams.
