A Tiara for the Taking Robin Russell

Over the centuries, the famous Fatima Tiara has mesmerized and intrigued all who have stolen it. What started as a daughter's whim and a father's quest for forgiveness has transformed into endless years of subterfuge and violence. Now there is one last hope for peace and national reconciliation in Morocco. And if the children succeed, they may even save love. However, on this adventure they'll need much more than their wits and their courage. This time they'll face their most dangerous opponents yet: themselves. Five Star Review: I cannot recommend these books highly enough. Adults, young adults and children alike will find these books absolutely enchanting, fascinating and exciting. I have read many amazing books series in my lifetime, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Narnia Chronicles and Harry Potter, and now I can happily add Summer Island to my list. The main characters in these books are multifaceted, dealing with situations that are so poignant they draw you in and leave you running right along side of them hoping to find a way to make everything right. The problems in these books are not resolved by the wave of a magic wand, wearing a magic ring or stepping through a magic door, but by actual problem solving. However the way in which Tia (the motherly woman who invites the children to stay with her every Summer) seems to always steer everyone in the right direction does leave you wondering if there isn't just the tiniest glimmer of magic in her somewhere. Thank you very much to Ms Russell for sharing such treasures with the literary world. I look forward to seeing more from this authoress in the future. Or, as a certain orphan boy might say, "Please, missus, I want some more."
