If you enjoy fantasy books, be sure to include this series in your reading list!
Liberty loves her unique parents with all her heart, but do they have to be so overprotective and secretive? Her quirky great-uncle is quirky, too, yet he seems to be the oly one she can really talk to.
Although Liberty was very lonely, she had a wonderful pet goose for a friend... That is until a new girl came to town. Ginny proved to become the best friend ever!
This story is about a loving family, not truly accepted in the community, yet, a respect has been earned and so the people leaves the to their unusual ways. This story also touches on the topics of bullying, rude judgement, acceptance, loyalty, commitments and forgiveness.
Although there are some "scary" situations and a few controversial subjects, this is a very entertaining and well-written book for older elementary aged children. There are plenty of action in the varying adventures which steadily progresses throughout the book. There is also a touch of humor.
The Title and Cover are both well chosen and "eye-catching". The characters were either endearing or aggravating, yet both portrayed very realistically. The story, as a whole, was very interestingly captivating. It never dragged or felt repetitive.

*This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review. ( )

Thanks to author J. L. McCreedy for the review copy of this novel, which is aimed at teen/young adult readers.

Liberty ('Libby') Frye has just turned ten years old when she learns the grandmother she once thought to be dead is actually very much alive. Libby and her parents set off on a journey to visit the elderly relative, but things take a rather strange turn almost immediately...

This is a book that I'd have loved as a young reader! Libby is a strong character, likeable and endearing and I can imagine the younger me wanting to be like her. All the characters are well written, it's a great story with both drama and humour, some supernatural and a touch of mystery. The combination really works well to ensure that Liberty Frye is not a book I'll forget in a hurry. 4.5/5 ( )

A really fun story with great characters. It was easy to get engrosed and not want to put the book down. I particularly like the strong female characters and the good role modeling the story contains. It has some profound examples of loyalty, trustworthiness, bravery, and intelligence. ( )
