Lioness Rampant (The Song of the Lioness)
Tamora Pierce
Simon Pulse, 2005
Reader...Then a Teacher
This review is more for the entire "Lioness Quartet" quadrilogy, rather than this final installment in the series.
I was introduced to this series as a young girl of 11 or 12. They remained my favorite books for over a decade. The Lioness Quartet combines both ...

The Realms of the Gods (The Immortals)
Tamora Pierce
Simon Pulse, 2005
About Daine and Numair
Concerning the age difference between Daine and Numair, remember that this story takes place in medieval-like times.
Throughout history, it has been typical for adult men to marry girls who have just reached puberty. It wasn't sicko. In those times, it made good ...

Wild Magic (The Immortals)

Wonderful Story
I read this before I read the other series (Song of the Lioness)so I really had no background info on the setting. The plot is intriguing and the details back it worthwhile.

Melting Stones
Tamora Pierce
Scholastic Press, 2008
Excellent Read, glad I waited for the novel
This book was orrigonally produced as an audio book. Which I haven't listened to yet because I wanted to read the book first (even though I'm sure the audio is excellent, having heard other productions by the same team of people). I'm glad I waited because Melting ...

Terrier (The Legend of Beka Cooper, Book 1)
Tamora Pierce
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2007
Excellent Read
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Beka Cooper. Tamora Pierce is an exceptional author, who is categorized as a "Teen" author. I probably would have never stumbled upon her books unless a friend had recommended them. So let that be a lesson, while it's classified as Teen ...

Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1)
Tamora Pierce
Scholastic Paperbacks, 1999
Ahmazing.
About four years ago, I got this book for my birthday. And at that time, I had no interest in fantasy, so I swear it sat on my nightstand for weeks--no, MONTHS before I even opened the thing. Eventually, I opened it. And I read a couple sentences, put the book down and ...

First Test (Protector of the Small)
Tamora Pierce
Laurel Leaf, 2000
A great She-ro book for young girls!
This is a great fantasy book for young girls! A lot of press has been given to "hero" books such as Harry Potter, but First Test is the introduction to a young girl who has a strong sense of self-image and courage. This will make a great addition to my classroom ...

Circle Opens: Cold Fire
My daughter loved the book but our only complaint was that the book cover was not the one shown so this book doesn't match the rest in this series!
