| gdwtch22's Full Review: Jody Bergsma - The Little Wizard |
Jody Bergsma is fast becoming a very popular childrens author/illustrator, and it's not very hard to see why. Her stories are imaginative and full of good advice, and her illustrations are breathtaking. I stumbled upon her work while looking for books for my son, age 7. My son and I both fell in love with her work after purchasing "Dragon" the first book of her Dragonfire Trilogy. I quickly bought every book I could find by her. "The little Wizard" is the second book of the trilogy. You really need to read the first book to understand and appreciate the second. (read my epinion on "dragon")
The Little Wizard includes all the making of a great fairy tale. Wizards, dragons, trolls, a queen and a journey. The main character Kevin, a young boy, and his cat Tomas must travel to Royal city in hopes of saving his ill mother. Kevin is unaware of the turmoil going on in Royal city. Queen Arianna of Lugin inherits a kingdom in great peril and her only hope is an ancient prophecy:
From the cold of Lugin's night
A wizard child shall reignite
The sacred fire that guards life's well
And heal the land in which we dwell
On their journey, Kevin and Tomas are joined by Greystone, a dragon who becomes their friend and guide. Kevin and his friends find a wizard's cloak. Upon entering Royal City Kevin is taken before the Queen.
This is truly a great book. It will teach it's reader bravery, commitment, and the power to believe in yourself and your purpose no matter what challenges you face. It is beautifully illustrated, by Jody Bergsma, who has won countless awards for her art, and stories.
This is definitely worth your time and money!!!!!
