Book Review - The Sparkle Forest

 New author alert! 

Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream? Is it real or imaginary?

The story begins with Avery, a child in the foster system, being new in town learning of a bridge in the town of Cloud that has an interesting story behind it. As Avery dreads the upcoming Halloween holiday, which happens to be her birthday, she suddenly is sent a mysterious letter in the mail.

Will the meeting with Merry Mother really happen? Who is Merry Mother and how can she possibly know anything about Avery? Is this a prank? Avery will only find out if she goes to this meeting, so she asks if she is allowed to attend a birthday party that evening instead of trick or treating. The evening will be a very unique trip for Avery and her life will change following a trip to The Sparkle Forest.

Similar to Alice in Wonderland, this story will hit people in many different ways, but is a magical story to read and a fun read to any preteen. I am excited to read to my granddaughters. I hope to see many more stories from Marie Spears Botkin.

I will share that I have met Marie and that is how I learned of her book. She is a friend of a friend, and I am thankful that she shared this story with us and told us of the upcoming sale of this book.
