    <body><![CDATA[This short book was a great quick read.  It is thought provoking and rich, though there were times at the beginning, when the main characters were meeting each other, that forced me to suspend reality a bit.  I enjoyed it immensely, and it was a wonderfully relaxing read.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[His name is West. Her name is Cally. They speak different languages and come from different countries thousands of miles apart, but they do not know that. What they do know are the tragedies that took their parents, then wrenched the two of them out of reality, into a strange and perilous world through which they must travel together, knowing only that they must reach the sea. Together West and Cally embark upon a strange and sometimes terrifying quest, learning to survive and to love and, at last, the real secret of their journey.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Seaward is a coming of age story set in a fantastical land of imagination. Although a decent story I found that events often had a dreamlike quality and did not have a significant purpose. Definitely for the younger reader - 8 to 12.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[His name is West. Her name is Cally. They speak different languages and come from different countries thousands of miles apart, but they do not know that. What they do know are the tragedies that took their parents, then wrenched the two of them out of reality, into a strange and perilous world through which they must travel together, knowing only that they must reach the sea. Together West and Cally embark upon a strange and sometimes terrifying quest, learning to survive and to love and, at last, the real secret of their journey.]]>
