- Born within the sound of the Bow bells in London, Karen Lee Field was seven when her parents decided to move to the “Lucky Country” and settle in Sydney, Australia. Apart from enjoying time with her family and pets, Karen loves escaping to fantasy worlds—places where her sometimes ordinary life is transformed into an exciting adventure and her imagination is set free.

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Princess Alara of Miu and her bodyguard's father are missing. The only clue the two companions have is a riddle her father left her. Following the cryptic riddle, the two find themselves beneath a volcano with two of their other friends from the above world. Deciphering the clues, Alara discovers that the volcano is about to erupt and her and her friends are the only ones that can not only save Miu, but there neighbor city, Bahku. Too bad, thinking her father's sceptre was the answer to her problem, she stuck it in a hole in a cavern beneath the volcano and opened a bridge to Bahku. Now both cities will most likely get destroyed by the lava from the eruption. Can Alara, Septah, and their two friends save their world?
Action from the start, readers will enjoy the fast-paced nature of this book. The characters seem a little too impulsive, even for 12 year olds, and Alara's reasoning for believing her father has disappeared despite logic seems flawed. The characters, however, are likable in many other ways and help the reader to get sucked into the story. Recommended for fantasy/adventure and books about shapeshifters fans, but this book is hard to step into if you haven't read the first book.… (más)

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Not having read the first book in The Land of Miu Series, it took me awhile to get into the story. Princess Alara and her bodyguard, Siptah travel and plot how to save their city and find their respective fathers. Included in the story are two human girls, Kate and Emma, who hold the key that will solve their plight. "The King's Riddle" does capture the imagination; young girls will enjoy the idea of turning into kittens and using that ability to travel through small spaces.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I read book # 1 first to get an idea of the background of book #2. It was a fast read and good for upper elementary/ middle school students. Two worlds are involved - the human world and the land of Miu. The human world is not a very big part of the story, but two children, Kate and Emma, are important characters in the story. Princess Alara and her body guard in training, Siptah come from the land of Miu and can change into kittens when they are under 13 if they are traveling to the land of humans.
Alara and Siptah go to get Kate and Emma when their fathers are missing and they receive a strange message. In this story they are trying to save their fathers, save their land, and at one point save Kate and Emma.
There are good themes of friendship, trust, courage that are developed in this story. An enjoyable book for kids who enjoy fantasy.… (más)

Most of the stories are light-hearted, set in every day situations. Some of the stories take you away from the world we know and drop you in a fantasy world or on an unknown planet/space ship. All of them give you a moment to appreciate life through the eyes of someone else.
And the profits from the sale of the book are donated to the survivors of the Queensland floods, which devastated something like 80% of Queensland in early 2011.
This would make a brilliant gift.… (más)
