Summary: This Book Rocks!
Review: I'm sure other people have adequately reviewed this book. I haven't read the reviews and don't want to. I have my own opinion of it. The warning is: there's a swear word about two-thirds of the way through the book; a totally unnecessary one. I hate it when children's books have "bad" swear words (or any, actually) in them. Also, I think they're calling it a fantasy, but it's Science Fiction--I mean, a name like "organazoomers" to describe tree cells that transport people . . . that's a sci fi name! So don't buy this book. If you want to, read it, but it's not in the same class as Harry Potter. It is poorly plotted, none of the characters are very likeable and Earthaven may be worth saving to the people that live there, but it was too easy to feel that they were really nasty people who weren't worth saving.

Summary: Quite enjoyable
Review: Natalie is a simple girl, trapped in a family with a distant, alcoholic father and a rebellious foster-brother. However, when she encounters a strange and menacing old man at the supermarket, her whole world is turned inside out. Kidnapped by a fiendish spell-caster who wants to take over an alternate world, Natalie must fight to protect the lives of those around her and the very existence of a world she never knew existed. For the sake of others, Natalie must be strong and transcend all of the boundaries that have existed around her.

I found this to be quite an enjoyable story. The characters are interesting, and the storyline flows along quite well. It is a good book for younger readers: lightweight, and yet quite enjoyable.

Summary: An enchanting new fantasy novel.
Review: Natalie thinks she is just an ordinary girl. She lives an ordinary life with her father, stepmother, and stepbrother. She misses her dead mother terribly. Her father has not been himself since she died. Natalie does not know that her mother had come from another world. One day in the supermarket parking lot, Natalie notices a glimmering wrapper. She has no knowledge that noticing this will lead to her being kidnapped. Natalie's captor knows that she has inherited her mother's power. He wants to force her to join his Spellclave, which will then destroy the magical world Natalie's mother came from, Earthaven. She escapes, aided by her captor's son, Merlin, who is as much a prisoner as Natalie herself is. Together, the two journey to Earthaven, where they discover a world unlike anything they ever imagined. But can they save Earthaven and return to their own world in time? I highly reccomend this enchanting book to readers who enjoy fantasy novels.

Summary: Awesome Book!!!!!!
Review: Spellfall is about a girl named Natalie. The book begins when she finds a "candy wrapper" which is really a spell, so an old man informs her. Little does Natalie know that this will lead to her kidnapping. She is taken to an old lodge in the woods where her kidnapper, Hawk forces Natalie to join his spellclave. I won't give too much more away, but Natalie finds another world from which her dead mother originated. Hawk plans to destroy this world. A must-read for those who like fantasy and adventure!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: It's okay but it's not worth the money
Review: Twelve-year-old Natalie is recycling her cans when she is confronted by a ragged old man in the supermarket parking lot who tries to lure her into becoming part of his renegade band of oucast wizards. So begins her adventure in which she is hunted by this man and his spellclave, only to find the true source of her blind mother's death and the magical destiny that awaits her in an paralell world to our own.

Pick up this book and you will not be disapointed. With a touch of Harry Potter and spoonful of Tamora Pierce, you will enjoy every last drop of this utterly mind-stirring novel! (Be warned, however, sometimes the writing lags a little, but I would hope something like this would NEVER stop you from reading such a great book!)

Happy Reading![...]
