5.0 out of 5 stars Summary, March 17, 2008

By	Veronica R. Tabares "Author of Behold the Eye... (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Micah, who lives in a world adjacent to our own, has just celebrated his Rite of Passage to become a man. But in truth, Micah knows adulthood will only begin when his birth gift reveals itself. So until then, he waits. And dreams.

Vickie is a normal 6th grade girl who is looking for something exciting to do. Something like...like...writing a book! But Vickie resolves that it won't be one of those boring books you can find on any bookshelf, it will be a sure-fire bestseller, full of real-life ghostly, shivery, unexplainable things.

Vickie's search for ghosts opens her eyes to the mysteries around her and brings her to the attention of an unscrupulous janitor who is on a quest for power. Power he can get if he succeeds in traveling through the baffling, mysterious, and dangerous land of dreams to Micah's world.

Braumaru is the first book in the Behold the Eye fantasy trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable adventure, March 29, 2008

By	Patti Lynch - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Behold the Eye: Braumaru is a delightful and wholesome adventure! The story is filled with fun and suspense. The characters will remind you of friends you have known. The thoughts and language are delightfully typical of young teens. When I set this book down at night, I thought about what might happen next....I looked forward to my next chance to continue my reading. This, to me, is one sign of a well written book. This book is written for children, but I (an adult) enjoyed every minute of it. I cannot wait to read the next book! I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Dream book...literally, May 15, 2008

By	J. Wetter (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am positive that most of us have awakened one morning wishing that the dream we had the night before was real, or that you could go back to a place you had visited in a dream. Maybe you can, you just haven't tapped into that untrained ability... Behold the Eye: Braumaru, by Veronica Tabares, is the first book I have read that is based on dream travel, and I certainly recommend it as a great read. With the main character a sixth grade girl, I would place the target audience as 4th through 8th graders. However, it is really for anyone who's dreamed of dream travel, or enjoys fiction with a captivating plot. I, a collegiate male, can prove that for I am waiting impatiently for books two and three to be released. Make sure you add this book (and the next two) to your library, whether public, private, or personal.
