Review

Book Review 1: "Very original and captivating story, beautifully written. Through Coralee's adventures and encounters, kids (and adults) can learn that diversity is something to embrace, rather than being afraid if wat is new and different." -- Sarah from Treviso, Italy
Book Review 2: "Mysteries of the Mist is an enchanting story about a teenage girl who loves recreational activities and spending time with her beloved grandfather. C.A. Rand writes expressively, and her love of the sea shows in the scenic descriptions. I've learned the differences between sirens and mermaids, and I have always thought lighthouses were special, too. The illustrations are amazing, and so are the characters. Coralee and Mist behave liketypical teenagers. The undersea setting is just as lovely as the land scenes. Even the Sea God and Goddess have their problems to solve under the sea. Mysteries of the Mist is a fantasy story and a delightful read for children." -- Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite
