These are excellent books! There are many books about boys having adventure, but Alexa is a young girl with an excellent spirit for adventure.

As an adult reader of children's fantasy, I liked the book, but on occasion I felt it was just a little juvenile for my tastes. I liked the writing style, and I had very good visuals in my head as the story went along. I think I would like to read something this author wrote for grown-ups.
One thing I appreciated: when the main character tells a lie, it hurts her conscience, and she knows things will have to be made right later. When she steals something from her mother, she admits it, and is accepting of the coming discipline.
