Summary: So many memories!
Review: This book is the 2nd in The Bracken Trilogy, the 1st being The Bridge, and the 3rd being The Two Collars. The story follows Rosewyn, a young princess and daughter of Rosalyn of the first book. Rosewyn is fiesty, loves adventure and gets herself into trouble. One day she gets caught up in a real adventure when assasins plot to murder her parents. With the aid of the Wise Old Woman she sets out to foil the plot and keep herself out of harm's way. All the while discovering maturity and strength in herself. I HIGHLY recommend this series to any young reader. Or any adult (like myself) that loves charming engaging books. This is a quick read of only 154 pages, but a deep story. And is in no way childish. Please read my reviews on the 1st and 3rd books also.

Summary: I've lost track of the number of times I re-read it!
Review: This is the second book in the Wise Woman trilogy by Jeri Massi and this one concerns itself with the daughter of the heroine of the first one. This one keeps the kid-saving-the-kingdom plot, but adds a plot to overthrow the king and queen, a secret passage, miners, slavers, and a dog. Of course, the Wise Woman is back, saving another princess (her granddaughter) and not seeming to have aged at all. Again, the religious overtones are light and the story and characters are interesting. This is better than The Bridge (in fact, if Crown and Jewel is read first, The Bridge is a bit of a disappointment), and can be read well beyond the recommended age group.

Review: When I was a kid, I went to a private school with a tiny little library. Once I was poking around the back shelves when I found this book! I read it and loved it. It's about an unruly princess named Rosewyn who finds herself caught in the middle of a scheme to steal the throne and must rescue her parents from the usurper in question. Most of the books I read when young are boring to me now, but not this one...so if you have a kid, this would be a good choice for her (or him) to read!
