Christine Norris is the author of an enjoyable series called The Library of Athena. While awaiting the fourth book in that series, I decided to read Norris' first novel, Talisman of Zandria (which is the start of a two-book series).

I think of this as a mini quest somewhat like Lord of the Rings. Characters are quaint and charming. There is a lot of magic myth and lore. It is a good story for kids 7 and up. It is the kind of story parents could read there kids and they would really like it . There is actually a sequel to this book called Return to Zandria. I would be interested in the second one as well.
I wrote this book. It's my first (published) book, so I'm kind of sentimental about it. It's a fun little adventure, with dragons and wizards and a journey and the fight to get home.
Most people who've read it like it, so I give myself four stars :) If you've read it, feel free to tell me what you think of it.
