Daring Quest of Mystics by Shirley cheng is a fun adventurous read for all ages. This is a facsinating book of short stories, each with a moral. I would recommend this book for all ages, I have passed it on to my teenage son to read, because the fun, magical story is also teaching while entertaining. Something that is hard to find. I look forward to the next book by this author.

Daring Quests of Mystics by Shirley Cheng is an enchanting story that will be loved by anyone who reads it. On a scale of a one to five stars, this book receives a ten! Most would say a sixth grader knows nothing about books but, believe me, I've read a lot and this is one of the best I've ever read. From the beginning to the end, this book keeps you on the edge.

This book is highly entertaining and I recommend it to everyone. From the strange beginning to the tearful end, this book is an excellent book for all ages (especially girls). I loved it very much. Many times when I read a book and recommend it to others, they aren't interested or say that I read too much. I think that most of those people would love this book and will read it once they start. Daring Quests of Mystics is very entertaining.

This exciting book has many interesting twists and many morals to share. In this book you will find romance, enchantment, and mystery at every turn. From Princess Sophia's kidnapping to Lord Veldolf's love for Princess Sophia, you can see that this book is unpredictable. Of the many messages in this story, the one that stands out to me is that good always conquers evil. I love this book very much and I hope whoever else reads this agrees.

I love the vision of Shangri-la in Shirley Cheng's book. I was enchanted by the descriptions of intriguing settings throughout, and I like how some of the rich details get wrapped around the dramatic moments. Each has a compelling lesson to which readers are drawn. It gives a good overall message - the power of a daring heart, magic and goodness defeating evil.

While I would like to see more plot twists in her stories, I understand Shirley's motivation to be simplistic. Her story is in sync with her motto of bringing hope and healing to this world. God knows we need them!

This is a book that reminds me of bedtime stories when I was a child. All the stories have a moral. I found it to be wonderfully refreshing and look forward to seeing more books by this author.

This book is made up of short stories about the same characters. All of the stories are designed to teach a leason and reminded me of the old fairytales. In the days we live in I think it is good to have someone remind us of the morals we so easily forget.

I would like to give everyone an idea on what the book is about. Below are the short biography of the author and the synopsis. Thank you.

Shirley Cheng (1983), was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 11 months old and completely lost her eyesight at age 17. She started schooling at age 11 without any prior education. She is a straight A student and hopes to earn science doctorates from Harvard University after a successful eye surgery. She is also the author of two other books, which will be published.

The prodigious stone castle overlooked a prominent countryside of the kingdom known as Noxellia, where days were filled with the bliss of sunshine kissing the gentle rolling hills yonder, while impish winds playfully teased women's hair as trees whistled tunes of joy. It was certainly a scene of exquisite tranquility--or so it seemed.
Thousands of people of all ranks and ages flooded into King Fulacian's castle for the charming Princess Sophia's seventeenth birthday. Dancing, music, and feasting of all sorts and varieties of dishes were the main menu of the day. At last, the special highlight of the event was brought forth--a reading of fortune by Dawn, a special friend of the royal family. Turning to the princess, the oracle uttered these startling words: "Terror and adventure you shall face on your wedding day." Where upon, two gifts were bestowed upon Princess Sophia: a white dove and a multi-colored ring of rhinestones. How could a dove and a ring possibly help her? Little did she know that these presents would be of so much help as daring quests were conquered, and that the importance of life was taught and cherished more so in each tale.
