The Adventures of Crimson and The Guardian

Set in medieval times, a young servant girl, Kinsey finds a cloak in a Pixie Forest and adventure awaits!

The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian is adventure and action from the beginning, young readers will be quickly swept up in the adventures of Kinsey and the creatures she meets on her journey. The pages feature large spacing between the lines, making it easy for its target 8–10-year-old readers.

Action-packed, but somewhat lacking in character and setting description and details, I struggled to find a description of what Kinsey looked like, young readers perhaps would overlook this as the story moves quickly.

An adventurous fantasy book that will appeal to young readers who are just starting to explore the fantasy genre, leaving them wanting to read more.

Opening sentence: “Where are the pixies hiding?” I asked myself as I walked through the Pixie Forest.
