Genre: Young Adult
Title: The Hole in the Sky
Author: Barbara A. Mahler
"The red-head is back! It´s the beginning of the end..."
A world of magical beings and all-too-human mistakes- People of good and evil- A choice between unimaginable wrong and endless hardship. Thirteen-year-old Kaela Neuleaf faced with all these dilemmas when she falls from "a hole in the sky", or rather the floor of her bedroom closet back home.
Upon arrival, she is immediately recognized and hailed as "the red-headed girl". Kaela has many friends in this strange land, but numerous enemies as well. She must recognize both if she is to complete her quest and live to tell the tale.
In a realm where a bitter plant can close the heart forever and tigers cry tears the size of diamonds, Kaela must learn to trust and to gain trust from the unlikeliest of places.
Barbara A. Mahler´s homes in Boulder, Colorado and Malibu, California might have been her inspiration to write about the two separate homes Kaela now has, on opposite sides of the hole in the sky. The author has brought together the joy that bonds a family together and the bitterness of betrayal by your most trusted companion in a surprising twist of wit and humour. Her first novel, The Hole in the Sky, reveals how love and treachery can transform a world so similar to our own.
This book is suited for anyone with a taste for adventure and a yearning for fantasy. It is highly recommended by Boyu Huang, Allbooks Review.
