Kid Who Reads is excited to be part of The Enchanted tour. The Gateway Chronicles is my favorite series EVER. It got me started reading. So let me tell you about this great series. (And at the end there's a special note from K. B. Hoyle to her younger readers.)
These are good, great awesome books. Good for anyone. I started them in 3rd grade (at age 9). My aunt is 35 and my grandma is 63 and loved it. So anyone can love it.
I like them because it has fantasy, action, and just so much to learn how one day at camp and then a world with fairies and magic with other stuff.
Darcy is my favorite character because she has cool powers.
The first book is about the Six learning about the new world. Second book is about Darcy having to go see the Oracle. Third is about them going to rescue a friend that was capture by the Oracle.
I can't pick one book that is my favorite. They are all my favorites.
I hope that the riddle will be solved in the fourth book.
Ms. Hoyle, I love all the books and because of this series I started to actually read. Thank you.
You can check out my aunt's reviews of
The Six,
The Oracle,
The White Thread, and
The Enchanted. I also interviewed K. B. Hoyle this summer. Read that
interview.
A Note From K.B. Hoyle
To my young readers…
Have you ever wanted so
badly for something to be real? Well, when I was growing up, I used to read
books about fantasy lands and dream about what it would be like to visit
another world myself. I was pretty shy, too, and I didn’t have many friends, so
I found comfort more often than not in the pages of my books. Now, although I
pushed on the back wall of my closet plenty of times hoping for an entrance to
Narnia, I was also a pretty smart kid and knew, unfortunately, that none of
that was real. What I did discover,
however, was that there are other
ways to escape to a fantasy world other than just reading about them, and so I
began to write. I figured out early on that a writer can be an explorer one
day, a fantasy princess another, an astronaut the day after that, and a
superhero the next day. Writing, like reading, became another means of
transporting myself to fantastic realities in which I, ultimately, learned more
about myself and became more comfortable in my own skin. I’m so grateful that I’ve
been given the gift of being able to write and craft new fantasy stories that
others may also enjoy now, not only myself. I hope you join me in exploring my
world of Alitheia in The Gateway
Chronicles, and that you find inspiration yourself to craft new realms. The
possibilities truly are endless!
