This past week I had the privilege of reading a book by a brand new author, M. Shawn Petersen. He is my friend Elaine's brother and she loaned me his book. The book is Stella and The Timekepers and it was a really fun book. This book is clearly for a younger reader than myself, but I enjoyed it.
The book starts out with the main character, Stella Merriss, and her parents in a boat in some rough waters. After some struggles, she loses both of her parents overboard. Her rescuer not only knew her parents, but has been waiting for her to arrive. She quickly learns why she has led a life of moving, running, and never settling in one place. Stella is shocked to learn that she is half mermaid, half angel. She learns that there are many special things about her and she is sent to train as an angel apprentice. Throughout the story Stella grows into who she was destined to be, all the while battling the forces of evil in the form of Lord Sylvain who wants to destroy the world she is now part of. The battle of good vs evil!
You know I don't like spoilers, so you won't find them here. I would recommend this book for readers ages 8(ish) and up. I think the younger audience would love the world and the characters that M. Shawn Petersen has created.
Thank you for loaning me your book, Elaine! Happy reading, you guys!
