A review by Nathan Brazil

"We botch spell," Petrovna said she hung her head. "We try to redo spell your sister put under, it no work. Perhaps I tangle up words. Old language. Spell maybe get lost in translation."

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. It's soon apparent that Die Sterntaler is a multidimensional place of spells, shape-shifting, and time travel; the location where her elfin destiny begins. Before long Chessie discovers her own magical powers, and the chance to change elf history. However, before she can do that there are a series of murders to be solved, and a killer who must be brought to justice.

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?

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.
