Journey into the Realm: The Elf Girl is totally engaging. The author immediately captures the reader's interest as main character Ramsey Wilder dramatically introduces herself in the Prologue, and an exciting ride quickly begins. This story of a girl searching for truth and personal identity is one readers of all ages can relate to very well. Grabo has carefully crafted her own magical world of elves, fairies, gnomes and more, and has done a grand job of it. Her descriptions and images are clear...more

Ramsey Wilder, our fifteen year old main character has always known she's different....she just never envisioned just how different she'd turn out to be. One day on her semi regular trip to her local bookstore, Ramsey discovers a tome of a book that she's never seen the likes of...'The Mysterious Guide to Fantasy'. It may not sound eye popping to one and all but for a girl that likes a bit of magic in her life (like Ramsey) it's a match made in heaven.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this. I had never read about elves before and this was written by a teenager. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it! I felt like I was reading a book by an author that had written many great books already.
The story starts out with Ramsey living in the Human Realm and wondering why she has pointy ears and is different than the rest of her family. She finds out when Addison and her brother Stellan tell her and take her b...more

I read the book when it first came out and just finished it again before reading the second one in the series. Great book! Loved it the second time around too. Markelle is an excellent writer and I am hooked! I usually will not read a new writer knowing it will be a awhile before the next book so I am hoping the second book is as good as the first so I can read it again in anticipation for the third. From what I hear from friends and reviews the second is just as good if not better then the firs...more

The Elf Girl was given to me by the author in exchange for my honest review and I want to take the opportunity to thank the author for providing me with a copy. I must say I that the blurb had me intrigued. I love a good fantasy and I was eager to dive right into this since I've never really read of anything with Elves in it, besides Tolkien's of course.

An interesting read as I have not come across any books mainly about elves before. Being the first in a series, this book set up the world building and relationships and whilst it was not riveting at times, it was necessary. Sometimes I felt this did not flow in places but towards the end I was looking forward to finding out if Stellan had a chance or the gorgeous stranger was her number one pick. I will definitely pick up the next book to see who wins her hand.

This story could be about me: never normal, pointed ears, pale skin.... How did you get my life's story!
This book is probably one of the best books i ever read!!! I couldn't put it down and i felt like i was in the story, going threw everything Ramsey was going threw. This book is a great way to escape reality and enter a world of fantasy:)
This was a fun story to read. I just felt like some of the emotions were misplaced.
My Husband read this before I did, so I'm hoping he will be able to review this book as well.
I would definitely recommend this book to others looking for a fantasy title.

Elves. . . Are amazing! Screw fairies, give me some Orlando Bloom elf look a likes!
This book is absolutely amazing, it left me with a light feeling in my heart. I think all girls and women should read this, it's an amazing experience :)

At an early age she took to reading, spending countless hours devouring book after book. In fifth grade, she decided that she wanted to be like the authors she favored. She wanted to tell her own stories. An avid lover of fantasy, she typed out idea after idea, however, nothing was substantial enough to call a novel. On Easter morning of her freshman year in high school, she looked back on an old...more

“The last book I picked up had a picture of the Stranger on the front cover. Although his eyes were not nearly as beautiful in my dream state, they still took my breath away. I opened it up curiously and there was one word written in a large, bolded font: FATE.”
