Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1) by Scholastic Paperbacks warning - very occult
My 9 yr old daughter an I have read Tamora Pierce's books on Tortall, and found them very good. These books were recommended to me also, and since I enjoyed the Alanna series very much, I decided to read these. They aren't as good as the books on Tortall. What's more, although Pierce writes about magic in all of her books, these ones in particular I have found to be quite occult in nature. The occult elements include magic circles, craft magic, and gods/goddesses. The human mages are part of a Temple and practice meditation. Their blessing is tracing a "gods circle" on their chests with their fingertips. Just as a warning to parents who like to monitor what their children read, these books could almost be a primer to Pagan/Wiccan rites. Read them before your kids do, or with them... but if you are concerned about the occult, don't let them read these books on their own.
Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1) by Scholastic Paperbacks Fire, Plants, Weaving, and Storms...come together
Sandry is in a dungeon...and her oil-lamp is nearly empty. Daja is out at sea, floating. All her family was gone, they'd drowned. Roach (later known as Briar) is about to be sentanced to the docks. Tris's family doesn't want her anymore. These four children all have something in common, magic. When Niko, a famous mage comes and takes them to Winding Circle, they are not getting along. Before they know it all four of them are kicked out and placed in Disciplin Cottage where their mentors Niko, Rosethorn, Frostpine, and Lark teach them about magic. This is a great beginning to a great series! Anybody should enjoy it!
Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1) by Scholastic Paperbacks 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 started on homework. Then the calling came, my mind started edging towards ideas of what would happen to Sandry. Why was she in a cell, what did she do with the thread? I ended up crawling onto my bed and reading it. I couldn't stop. I fell in love with Sandry and Briar, Tris and Daja. I loved how everybody seemed to clash and then smooth over. That is when I fell in love with fantasy, with Tamora Pierce. I reccommend this book for anybody who wants a good fantasy. Just give it a try.
Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1) by Scholastic Paperbacks complicated (parts almost don't make sense) and boring, very boring
Sandry's Book is a book I had to read for an assignment at school. The book gives you about 100 pages of almost a Martha Stewart, Dr.Phil feeling like your watching it on tv (you'd get it if you read it - which you should NOT)and the other 152 pages are dissapointing. There's about 2 parts of excitement and they both end quickly. This novel is very, very boring and I would only reccomend this to a person that is into weaving, gardening and metalwork.
Sandry's Book (Circle of Magic, Book 1) by Scholastic Paperbacks Don't Hezitate to read this book!
At first I did hezitate to read this book because I don't know how I could ever leave Tortal. But I finally got the guts to do it. And after reading the first chapter I knew that I would LOVE this book. It has to do with four kids: Tris who has strange powers with weather, Sandry who surely can weave, Daja who has conections with blacksmithing, and Briar also known as Roach who has conections with plants. You'll absulutely love this book if you love magic and excitement!! -Hannah M.
