All her life, Melanie Colleen LeClaire has been enraptured by music and her own magical, musical abilities. Growing up in a run down theater with her washed out father hasn’t given her many opportunities. One day a mysterious stranger shows up on her doorstep, offering to take her to the incredible, stunning, marvelous Mystique Manor, a school for magic users and magical creatures. Melanie accepts and is swept up in an adventure and mystery that await her at the manor, meeting new friends, practicing new powers, and discovering a few secrets about herself and her family that she perhaps did not want to know. When she is suddenly caught up in a Magical Competition, however, she must race against the clock to solve an ancient puzzle involving mermaids, Midas, and a mysterious villain.
Suspenseful, romantic, musical and magical, Mystique Manor is an electrifying new novel about family that will spirit you away on a grand adventure you won’t forget anytime soon.
Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland (with just a touch of Twilight) in this family friendly fantasy. Good young adult novel or bedtime story to read to the kids. Very fun and interesting. Give it a read!
I like the blend of fairy tales and folklore to make an adventure here, with some mystery and romance. Each chapter is rotating the characters' POV which gives a little more in the story. Beautiful describing words to paint the scenes in your mind. There should be more illustrations in this.
