The SCI FI Website review     reviewer - Nathan Brazil
Chessie Bligh, a neglected 14 year-old American girl, is sent to a foreign boarding school accompanied by her only friend, a puppy named Wuggbert. Seeking to defy the social climbing aspirations of her uncaring, wealthy parents, Chessie switches places with Aelyn, a physically similar girl she happens to meet while changing aircraft in New York. Thus does Chessie find herself at Die Sterntaler. The school turns out to be an elf encampment at the rim of the Grand Canyon, hidden from human sight by magic.

Very exciting. Very suspenseful. Wonderful read. (He only had time to read it for shorter periods during the day, so he would read a chapter or half a chapter at a time.) I couldn't wait to pick it up again. Where's the sequel?

Reviewer: Fred Van Holland "veenie42" (California, USA) - See all my reviews
If you like the type of book where the characters have magical powers and the world is very different from what it seems, you're sure to enjoy Chessie Bligh. The author's imagination knows no bounds, and Chessie's adventures will hold the young reader captive from beginning to end. I bought the book for a young friend but had a chance to read it myself and thoroughly enjoyed it.
