Description: Otis
the owl is cursed with blindness which means he can no longer fly! His brave,
loyal friends: Topaz the conjure cat, Daisy the fawn and Dooley the raccoon set
out on a dangerous journey to find the Plum Gista Stone and return his vision.
Along the way they explore a magical land, encounter dark foes and even meet
new allies who are seeking redemption for their past mistakes. Together, using
team work, they overcome all obstacles to help their friend.
In Short: This is a face paced adventure with a unique mix
of characters and many positive messages along the way. A magical story to
rival The Chronicles of Narnia that would also make a great bedtime story for
younger children. A must have for those who love fantasy books and cats.
Pros: I love the
interesting cast of characters. Topaz, the conjure cat is a magical being with
mighty powers who is the last of his kind. He is incredibly brave and always
puts others before himself, he even inspires Dooley, who is often grouchy into
being selfless as well. Topaz is the king of his land and even though as King
he has many responsibilities and places to be, he puts that all aside to help
one friend. This book is full of great messages about friendship, courage, loyalty,
team work, owning mistakes, redemption, forgiveness, problem solving and
critical thinking. Dooley the raccoon is probably my favorite character. Even
though he sometimes says funny yet rude things and acts grumpy he does the right thing and is a true
friend. This book is well written and full of exciting action. There is a lot
of magic and wonder to the plot that will keep any age interested. Even as an adult, I really enjoyed this story.
Cons: I have no
issues with this book.
