Sabriel was recommended by my 11-year-old granddaughter who read the entire series. I give it 5 stars for this age group. The heroine is admirable, young, adventurous, and full of the type of courage it takes to complete difficult tasks. Attending school away from the Old Kingdom, Sabriel receives a message from her father, the Abhorsen who protects their world from the Dead. Sabriel discovers her father has gone into death where she must follow to obtain his help to safeguard the world and protect it from Kerrigor, the most fearsome and gruesome of the Dead. The action is fast-paced and Sabriel finds a hero, Touchstone, to work with her in her efforts. Together, the two battle the Dead and their leader, Kerrigor, working with other mages, soldiers and people. The book is imaginative, fun to read, full of magic, hope and even love. It's a very good read.
