| On the eve of Anita's sixteenth birthday, her date with her new boyfriend, Evan, is interrupted by an accident that lands them both in the hospital. After a series of dreamlike visions, she awakens in Faerie as Tania, the seventh daughter of King Oberon and Queen Titania, who has been missing for 500 years. Anita doesn't know what to think, and while she is trying to figure things out, she uncovers a plot that could destroy both worlds. The writing is occasionally awkward, and the book's setting and characters are typical fantasy fare. Even so, there's enough mystery, suspense, and romance to carry readers to the inevitable happy ending, and girls fond of magical princess stories won't be disappointed.

| Sixteen-year-old Anita discovers she can walk between worlds--from her own into the world of Faerie, where she is hailed as the lost Princess Tania, seventh daughter of King Oberon and Queen Titania. The fantasy characters and depiction of Faerie offer nothing new, though readers will likely enjoy the plot twists, wish fulfillment, romance, and drama of Anita/Tania's search for self-knowledge.

| All little girls with even an ounce of imagination have wondered what it would be like to have wings and be magical. Anita Palmer gets to find out, up close and personal. She is mysteriously transported out of modern day London into the world of Faerie, only to find out that she is herself the long lost seventh daughter of the fabled king Oberon himself. Unfortunately, not everything is gossamer wings (losing them is a rite of passage for younger faeries) and magical tapestries. Getting to know and love her new family doesn't stop her from missing her old earth-bound parents. And while her escort in Faerie appears both handsome and caring, she just can't make herself comfortable with the idea of romance and eventual marriage to Lord Drake. Can she really trust him? In a well-paced style that will communicate with today's readers, Jones relates well the emotional turmoil that all adolescents experience, be they faerie or human. The ending cleanly sets up a potential sequel for further adventures in the near future. (Fiction. 12+) Copyright Kirkus 2006 Kirkus/BPI Communications. All rights reserved. | | | |
Gr 6 Up— On the day before her 16th birthday, Anita's life starts to change. She has a vision of flying, receives a mysterious and magical book as a present, and travels from modern-day London to the world of Faerie. She discovers that her boyfriend, Evan, is really Edric, servant of the scheming faerie lord Gabriel Drake, and that he has been sent to bring her home. Anita is really Princess Tania, the seventh and youngest daughter of King Oberon, and she has been lost for centuries after experimenting with her power to travel between worlds. Anita/Tania comes to accept her true identity and the joy she has brought to her father and his realm. However, all is not well in Faerie. Queen Titania has disappeared, and Gabriel Drake is somehow involved with her loss. He claims to love Tania and wants to marry her, but is actually interested only in her magical power. While the conclusion resolves Tania's immediate problems, there is ample room for a sequel. This fairy tale meets "Princess Diaries" clearly shows Anita/Tania's confusion about her identity. She is a strong character, and her sisters and their varied powers and personalities are also well drawn. The teens' romance, foreshadowed by their starring roles in their school's production of Romeo and Juliet in this world, develops as the story progresses, and frequent quotes from and allusions to the play add depth to the story.—Beth L.

| Anita falls for the new boy, Evan, playing Juliet opposite his Romeo in the school play. But while speed boating on the Thames the day before her sixteenth birthday, they crash and land in the hospital. That night, Anita imagines sprouting wings and flying over London, and then over another land she vaguely recognizes. The next night, she is summoned by an apparition into another world. She assumes that it is all a dream but learns that she is Tania, seventh daughter of King Oberon of Faerie, prophesied to have the unique ability to move between the mortal and faerie worlds. She disappeared five hundred years ago on the eve of her wedding to Lord Gabriel. Finally she has been found and returned, albeit with no memory of her life in Faerie. Evan is actually Gabriel's servant charged with the job of bringing her home. Tania gets to know her sisters, her fiancé, and her world, all while trying to deal with Evan's deceit and find a way to return to reassure her parents in the mortal world. Despite a predictable plot, Tania's jarringly modern speech, and her unlikely gullibility in trusting her enemies, the book is appealing. The images are vivid, the characters are charming, and Tania learns to make her own decisions. She grows enough to rescue her true love and find her own destiny, despite evil adversaries who profess to be her friends. This first book in a new series is entertaining fare for younger fantasy fans.-Angela Carstensen PLB $17.89. ISBN 978-0-06-087103-1. 3Q 3P M J Copyright 2007 Voya Reviews. | | |
