Fireborn: Twelve and the Frozen Forest: The extraordinary first book in the thrilling new children’s fantasy series: Book 1

Product Information

Het is slechts drie maanden nadat het Jagersfort (de plek waar Feniks en haar vrienden voor getraind zijn om het fort te beschermen) verwoest is. Een heks van het ijspaleis uit IJsgaard schakelt de hulp van Feniks en haar vrienden in, het verkeert namelijk in groot gevaar en wordt belaagd door een kwaadaardige grootmacht: de Schaduwwerper.

There is one overall main lesson in this story and that's, it's never too late to be the person you want to become. Fully grown adults like myself can learn from that too. This was such a fun middle-grade fantasy to read! I was fully transported into the magical world of Ember that is crawling with monsters, magic, and mystery.

Astounding. An incredibly accomplished fantasy that’s not afraid of the dark side.” — Nicola Skinner, author of Starboard

Samen doen ze er alles aan om het ijspaleis te beschermen, want als eenmaal het paleis van de heksen verwoest is, zullen alle stammen in heel Tondel ten onder gaan. Feniks gaat de uitdaging aan, terwijl ze nog altijd worstelt om haar vuurmagie onder controle te krijgen. Met behulp van haar vrienden zet ze alles op alles om het ijspaleis te redden. One should never judge a book by its cover but this cover seems to work very well for its target group: Once my son, age 11, saw the cover in my review he asked me to get him the book once it is translated to German. So this is what we will do 😃. Especially as this book will be perfect for my son even though the main character is a girl. This book is the perfect fantasy novel for middle grade children of all sexes.

Twelve has spoken the Pledge and now she is a Huntling. She has given up her name to train in the art of fighting monsters and keeping the peace, and she won't get to choose a new one until she has earned it.Ember is a dark world full of magical and sometimes very spooky and scary creatures. Some are common traditional ones like for example goblins but there are also new intriguing ones. They add perfectly to the fast paced plot that gets you hooked on the story straight away.

The perfect balance of high adventure, breathless action and eerie wonder.” —Jonathan Stroud, New York Times bestselling author of the Bartimaeus Sequence Feniks en het ijspaleis is een aanrader voor kinderen die graag verhalen lezen die zich in een andere wereld afspelen met bijzondere wezens of krachten. De snelheid van het verhaal en de opbouw van de wereld vragen wel wat meer leeservaring. Hoewel het zeker geen slecht verhaal is en wel degelijk vermakelijk, is dit fantasy verhaal niet uniek ten opzichte van andere jeugd fantasyboeken. Fireborn is a fantastic debut, deftly told with skill and originality. A richly-imagined story, bursting with thrilling magic, terrifying monsters and an epic adventure that leaves you wanting more.” —Catherine Doyle, author of The Storm Keeper’s IslandAbsolutely crammed full of magic and monsters, this was a wonderful read and just perfect for any middle grade readers who enjoy a tale of mythical beasts and terrifying adventures. It is exactly the kind of book I loved as a younger reader, one in which you are never truly sure who you can really trust, and I'll certainly be recommending it to as many people as possible. Since the Dark War, Ember has been mostly at peace but one night after a fight breaks out between Twelve and Five which results in the two of them spending the night in the dungeons, all hell breaks loose and one of the huntlings is kidnapped by Goblins. Twelve, Five, Six and Dog team up to rescue her and from then on the book is all adventure, scary monsters, fighting and danger!
