Editorial Reviews
Review
"LaFevers sets up an effective fantasy realm, populated with likeable characters…. A good choice for readers not ready for Lloyd Alexander’s ‘Prydian books, which features a similarly young and appealing hero." —School Library Journal

More About the Author
R. L. LaFevers (Robin Lorraine when she's in really big trouble) grew up surrounded by shelves of old dusty books, a passel of brothers, and a wide variety of pets, including a goat, chickens, chipmunks, a baby anteater, and, for a few short weeks, two bear cubs, who were very wild and untamed. She has also spent a large portion of her life being told she was making up things that weren't there, which only proves she was destined to write fiction. She is the author of eight books for young readers, including Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos, (Houghton Mifflin, 2007) which received starred reviews and was a Junior Library Guild selection, a Booksense Summer Pick, and nominated for the Malice Domestic's Agatha Award. Kirkus calls her most recent book, Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist: Flight of the Phoenix, (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) ". . . an exciting tale." Look for the sequel, Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist: The Basilisk's Lair (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) in Spring of 2010.
R. L. lives in Southern California with her family and spends her time daydreaming, making up stories, and wallowing in old forgotten texts. Although she no longer has any exotic pets, she does have raccoons who visit her back porch, coyotes who howl at her window, and hawks that soar high overhead.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Forging of the Blade (Lowthar's Blade, Book 1) (Paperback)
I think this book has alot of action and really keeps your interest. I couldn't put the book down and I just wanted to keep reading and reading and reading. It's not that long, less than 200 pages. Once you read this one, you'll have to read all three!

This review is from: Forging of the Blade (Lowthar's Blade, Book 1) (Paperback)
My 6-year-old son and I LOVE this trilogy. We read it each night at bedtime. He hates to go to bed, but he actually asked me last night if we could hurry up and go to bed so that we could read. It has just the right amount of suspense and scary stuff to keep him riveted without having him end up in my bed in the middle of the night. No pictures, which is actually good because the pictures along with books of a similar scariness level tend to send him over the edge. We've started several books in the past that he didn't want to read anymore after he saw a picture of the first goblin/pixie/etc. I think I enjoy these almost as much as he does!
