Synopsis

"People your age belong at home." Seventy-three year old Mrs. Perivale is told when she tries to volunteer. With her son grown and gone, and her community turning their backs on her, the gravity of no longer being needed sinks her spirits deeply. She wonders if she has outlived her usefulness until a mystical little creature sneaks into Alice Perivale's home and begs her to come with him; there is a prophecy about her, and she must help save his world!

Finding herself in a magical place she had no idea existed, committed to a dangerous mission far more vital than helping out in her neighborhood, Alice dusts off her courage and bravery, rediscovering the feisty, sassy, powerhouse woman she is deep inside. She is determined to find the stolen Blue Fire Crystal before the imbalance between elements destroys all of the magical land of Corevé. Together with her extraordinary family of six cats and her skeptical-yet-devoted butler Henderson, she takes on the tremendous challenge.

With time running out and the world falling to pieces, Alice's precious companions are pulled away from her, and she is faced with impossible choices. Does she choose what she wants most of all, does she rescue her family, or does she save the world that will not survive without her?

Goodreads review by Nikita on November 21, 2023

I like the premise, but it is not well executed. The author provides a lot of description but often with too many words. The sentences are awkward, often run together, and are filled with unnecessary commas. It could definitely use some editing and reworking of the characters, particularly Mrs. P. I......more

I had mixed feelings about this book. First, what I liked. I liked that the main character was a senior citizen and a woman. I liked the cats, but question if the author had spent any time with a group of cats. The characters were likable. The pacing of the story was good. I did want to keep reading......more

Review by Grace, age 9, 8/22/20 (5 stars) This book is about Mrs. Perivale. At the beginning of this book, Mrs. Perivale feels kind of left out, because she wanted to join the Widows of War meeting and they told her they wanted younger people.

There is a great deal of description but it often serves to derail the movement of the story. Pace ws just entirely too slo......more
