Gypsy Legends: The Quest for Peace

Full Moon #4

by D.A. McGrath

The legend spoke of a new threat, a devastating war that could destroy the Gypsy race - unless the gifted children could prevent it…

Clara’s excited. It’ll soon be Christmas break. Two weeks off with cosy lie-ins, delicious hot chocolate and presents to be unwrapped. Not to mention being able to shape-shift to her hearts’ content. But, her friend, Luke, has disappeared off the face of the earth and she longs to know what’s happened to him.

Luke’s a Gypsy. He was on the road with his clan when their convoy was viciously attacked. Fleeing the ensuing chaos, Luke finds himself desperate and alone. Not able to trust his own kind, he makes his way to the only non-Gypsy he knows, Clara.

While dodging Luke’s pursuers, the friends try to figure out why someone wants to capture Luke so badly. Do the answers they seek lie within the Gypsy Council, who’ve inexplicably called for a clan gathering on Christmas Eve?

Facing terrifying Gypsy armies, and battles against ‘old magic’, can Clara and Luke outsmart the enemy and realise their destiny to save the Gypsy race?

In this fourth book of the ‘Full Moon’ series, Clara and Luke must find the courage to confront overwhelming odds. If you enjoy Neil Gaiman or Rick Riordan fantasy adventures, then you’ll love this book from Litpick Top Choice Award winning author, D.A. McGrath.

Reviews

[LitPick Book Reviews]

Gypsy Legends: A Quest For Peace is about a girl named Clara and a boy called Luke. They both have special magical abilities, and Luke is a Gypsy. It is near Christmas, and Luke’s clan is on the move because the Gypsy Council has called a meeting for all the different Gypsy clans. The clan is almost there when they are ambushed and the Gypsy Council members taken hostage. Luke runs away, because someone is trying to kidnap him too. Clara, unaware of this danger that has befallen her friend, finds him in the woods behind her house in bad shape. He fills her in and they come to the conclusion that they must run away. Clara’s aunt covers for Clara and tells her parents that she is staying by her. They are leaving Aunt Selina’s house when they are captured. Who captured them? Will they escape? And most importantly, can they still save the clans?

Opinion:
I was excited to continue reading the thrilling Full Moon series. I couldn't put it down, but it did have more intense moments than the other book (characters getting knocked out and one person dying). The author added new characters which I really liked as it added more to the story. I didn't like the use of God's name in vain. The ending was great, and I liked how each chapter switched viewpoints from Clara to Luke. I would recommend this book to 10-12-year-old kids who like suspenseful books.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

While traveling to a meeting with the Gypsy Council, Luke’s caravan is attacked by a group of mysterious men. They try to capture Luke. In order to escape, Luke turns into his dog form. Whom can he trust? He decides to go to Clara, a more powerful shapeshifter (and only friend his age). They agree to visit Clara’s aunt who is also a shapeshifter. Sadly, the men come there as well, and Luke and Clara have to leave. Together, they must escape the strange men, learn more about their powers, reunite with Luke’s caravan, and fulfill the prophecy.
Gypsy Legends: The Quest for Peace is an electrifying book with plot twists around every page. The main conflict of trying to escape Luke’s captors carries on throughout the whole book. The mysterious prophecy adds an extra boost of excitement. I enjoy the fact that, even though this is the fourth book in the series, new people are added and the plot continues to change and develop. Gypsy Legends: The Quest for Peace is an incredible book by D.A. McGrath, just like the first three books in the Full Moon series.
