FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Sarah Hammond
The life that Bobbi Yandro knows is turned upside down when her father dies and her mother is placed in a mental institution. But when she is sent away to live with her grandfather, Bobbi discovers that her life has a whole new meaning that she never could have dreamed possible. Not until Bobbi's grandfather, Pap, gives her a book of her father's poetry does she realize that something is different. Soon after, Bobbi decides she wants a horse, and none but the disobedient mustang Shane will do. However, in the end, the reader finds out that Shane is not, in fact, a horse, but a member of the Circle of Twelve, a group of magical non-human, non-animal beings who are only visible to those like Bobbi who have the Sight. Once Bobbi discovers she has this gift, she embarks on a journey of discovering just how much power the Circle of Twelve possesses and how they live in all of us. This book continuously involves the reader, and half the interest lies in guessing what will come next. This book is definitely not one just for the fantasy fans; it will be a treat for all to read. 2002, Firebird Books,
