Okay, but not worth the money.

This book is okay, but doesn't have the amount of suspense that makes other books like it good. It takes a long time to get into the story, and is way too repetitive at times. Don't waste your hard earned money one this one, because it's not worth it.

The Unseen

The Unseen is a perfect mixture of fantasy and real life. Many aspects of this book show how it isn't just about something make believe. Like when there are family situations of some sort. Even the fantasy part of this book has a real feel to it in my opinion. This is because the book is a message in a way saying that you are what you project, and open your eyes there is more to the world then what you can see.

While reading this book I had a hard time putting it down, because every little part of this book is so intriguing. Even the very first page of The Unseen is interesting and drew my attention. Throughout the book it gets more and more in depth about each of the characters. Especially the main character who I really understood in a way by the end of the book.

I think that everyone can relate to this book in a way. I recommend that everyone reads this book.

Okay

I found this book to be okay. While the author uses excellent metaphors and the ideas in the book are both deep and creative, you don't really get to know the characters. When I read this book, I felt like I was reading it, not in it. The characters felt like characters, not friends or enemies. Also, the book is sometimes repetitive. One of the main characters, Belinda, at first sounds mysterious, but after a while, she sounds rather annoying. Also, Xandra repeatedly critisizes her family until she finally gets to know them. All in all, you should read this book, but check it out of a library instead of buying it. After you read it once, you may not want to read it again.

Xandra Hobson has always been fascinated by magic. So when she rescues a beautiful wounded bird, she is convinced that the glowing white feather it leaves behind must be magical.

Xandra doesn?t want to be seen with her, but Belinda seems to know something about the feather?so Xandra decides to befriend her. Belinda calls the feather a key.

But a key to what? And how does it work? When Xandra tries to use the key, she becomes aware of an unseen world, full of phantoms. Some are soft and cuddly, like the young animals she has rescued. But others are terrifying monsters. Could the key?s magic be evil? Xandra needs Belinda to help her explore the unseen, but she also needs to learn to help herself if the key is to become a gift and not a nightmare.
