The Dark Hills Divide (Land of Elyon #1)

Reader reviewed by Roberta

The story takes place in the little town of Bridwell. The lead character, Alexa, has a big mystery to uncover. She encounters interesting characters thoughout the story. My favorite part in the story is the little man she meets up with to guide her on her adventure, Yipes. He is not your ordinary little man as the reader finds out. I liked the idea of the magic stone she collected that gave her the ability to hear the animals speak. That was so great. The animals that helped her along the way, Renny lodge, where she stayed full of secret passages, Murphy, a squirrel and Alexa's sidekick, all kept me on the edge of my seat. The urgency for Alexa to uncover the mystery that threatens Bridewell and how she figures out the clues keeps me interested and eager for her to succeed.

Alexa is a headstrong girl who loves reading about adventures in the library. She longs to explore outside of the huge walls that "protect" the city. One day she stumbles upon an adventure that calls for her to use all of her wits and abilities for the good of the Land of Elyon itself.

This book was full of fun, humor, and charm. The characters are unique and lovable. This genuine fantasy novel is an awesome read. Some parts are slow, but the great plot makes up for it.
