Book Description

Thirteen-year-old Alice Parker knows something isn't right; mysterious aches and pains, a craving for sugar that’s out of control. Suddenly she is top of the class in every subject.

Baffled by what is happening to her and feeling at odds with the world, Alice can't take much more. Only when she collapses and experiences a life-changing transformation does she discover why she is different.

But this new, incredible identity brings its own challenges and Alice isn't convinced she can rise to them. She just wants to be normal!

The fact is she's anything but...

REVIEWS:

'I read this book during the early hours of a cold dark night and as I read gradually the world became colourful,warm and sunny such was the power of this wonderful fantasy!
I held my breath during the metamorphosis,I licked my lips during the feast and I had to stop myself cheering aloud when the unicorn took to the sky. No, I am not in the target age group of 7+ but add 50 years to that and you will be nearer the mark. In my opinion the quality of the narrative transcends any age barriers.The plot was strong and the sub plot also stood up to close scrutiny.The characters were memorable and adorable.
I will not hesitate in buying the sequel.' - harrasrek

'What a delightful tale! Children of all ages will enjoy this one. My niece came over to my home and had this book with her. While she was out shopping with my girlfriend I glanced through the first few pages and was hooked. As an adult I enjoyed it and I know kids will. My girlfriend often tells me I have a mind of a child. (LOL) She thinks that is an insult. I take it as a compliment. Great book! A must read.' - R.B.W. Culpepper

By emzibah
Format:Kindle Edition
I love a good kids book! This is not a good one but a great one. I totally fell in love with the Finwip society and Alice Parker in particular.
The writing was very easy to read and i really enjoyed immersing myself in Alice's world.
This is a magical tale that is a must read for kids of all ages.
I will be reading the next in the series very soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fantasy/Adventure Series! June 13, 2012
Format:Paperback
I have always loved the fantasy genre, but will admit to being picky about what series I will actually take the time to read. I look for books that are well-written, plausible (even fantasy needs to be believable) and most importantly, I want stories with characters that aren't flat or boring. I am happy to say that Metamorphosis met and even surpassed my expectations.

From the moment I started reading this book, I actually found it rather hard to put down. The plot was engaging and carried enough suspense to keep me reading clear to the end, while the characters became almost like friends to me. I felt like I actually got to know Alice and her crew personally, which in my opinion is the ultimate aim of any fiction. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Alice and her brother, Thomas.

I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but I will say that I was also very impressed with the author's ability to create a new world that readers will want to call their own. This is a book that I can wholeheartedly recommend to kids and teens (or even adults if you like a good fantasy story).

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Read June 23, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great read for children and children at heart. I know that my 11 year old is gonna love it.

The book is about a 13 year old girl that is about to go through a major change. She notices she is starting to great in school without even trying, which isn't helping with popularity. She has issues sleeping at night due to strange pains, and is having huge cravings for fruits and sugars. Lucky for her, she has her best friend Sarah and her brother Thomas to stand by her and give her the support she needs.

It is a magical read and also has a hidden message that it might not actually be that bad to be different and that everyone and everything may not be as it seems. It kept me interested from beginning to end and I can't wait to see what is in store in the next book.
