Product Description
Debut novel from teen author! J.R. King's twelve-year-old antihero turned hero, Arianna Kelt, is a reformed thief and wizard seer. Now you wouldn't think being a wizard seer would be such a big deal, but it is a big deal to the Wizards of Skyhall. For you see, those particular wizards are sworn to protect the citizens of Earth from all the things they shouldn't know about--namely wizards, warlocks, and all the creatures of the magical realms that no humans should know exist.

Certainly Arianna would like to blame all her troubles on donuts--the vile, corrupting food that has caused her problems more than once--but she couldn’t. Well, not quite. The truth was she got nabbed sneaking a piece of cherry cobbler, and just when she thought her luck was running out, she saw the wizard, and of course, seeing the wizard got her into a whole new barrel of problems.

Full of humor, action, and adventure, you’ll be rolling on the floor with laughter, sitting on the edge of your seat, and turning pages so fast the Law Gnomes will be out to get you too. Enter Skyhall and become a wizard if you dare!

1.0 out of 5 stars A VERY SHORT BOOK, November 26, 2006
A Kid's Review
This is a rip off forf the price of $15.00. It is only 144 pages long with very large type and margins. So really it is maybe 70 pages if it were a real book.

Other things I don't like:

VERY BAD cover art - my classmates picked on me about it when they saw me reading it at school

not much of a plot - just a lot of pointless battles

the characters are not too original - you could tell this was written by a 12 year old

for a good book about a child wizard (besides Harry Potter) is the Wizard of Earthsea by Le Guin.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delight and Very, Very Funny, April 19, 2006
By M. Webb (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall' is a wonderful surprise - a book with the high action punch of Artemis Fowl and the zesty humor of Terry Pratchett. It has all the amazing attention to detail that made Harry Potter famous, complete with enchanting humor. I was rolling on the floor laughing every time the gnomes, and Digorence in particular, made an appearance.

As a first novel, it is not without its rough spots, but it is a delight to read. I see great things ahead for this young, 12-year-old author. This is without a doubt my favorite novel in years. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I'm breathlessly waiting for the sequel - and so will you when you read it.

It should be noted this is a premium Coffee Table Size book that begins with an illustrated "Meet the Characters" section and ends with an "Illustrated Guide" to the world and its denizens. The front and back cover art is gorgeous as well. Kudos to JR King who created the original art in addition to writing the book! Quite an accomplishment for a 12-year old.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't stack up, January 13, 2007
This was obviously written by a very precocious 12 year old, but a 12 year old just the same. Amazing for her age, but the lack of a plot and the immaturity of the writing is obvious. I would recommend buying books by Angie Sage, Jonathan Stroud, Brandon Mull, Jennifer Allison, Elizabeth Haydon, Diana Wynne Jones and so many others writing in this genre instead.
