Juniper was a great book. I enjoyed it so much and I can't wait to read wise child. It was touching and I always enjoy magical aventures such as this one. Almsost every part of it was equally good, but of course some I liked better. One of the most well written parts was when she had to kill Borra, as sad as it was it was very well written. I liked the crafty way it ended and unlike most books where they slowly end this one ended abrutly and I can't convince myself I have read the whole book.If you enjoy magical adventures than this is the one for you. Also I am part of a mother/daughter book club. We read a book a month. One of the girls has read both wise child and Juniper and says Juniper is better. Her jugdement on books is one that can be trusted. So it was decided that we would read Juniper as our first monthy book.

It takes place in Celtic times, and Juniper, Princess of Cornwall, is an adventurous girl who learns of her magical skills and tries to overthrow her power crazy aunt by using these skills. You'll find it all in here, Magic, Fantasy, evil, good, and much, much more. Open this book and you won't put it down!

I just bought this book and finished it, and I thought it was great! So, mabe I'm a bit "for it" because I love Celtic/Ancient British stuff, but this is a vividly written book for children or adults. It's fun and captivating, and it somewhat follows in the footsteps of _The Mists of Avalon_, though I think it's easier to like the character and easier to get caught in the plot, though it lacks the mystery. I'm only eleven, and I've read tons of fantasy books, and I have to say that this is one of my definite favorites. Juniper is a great main character, and not without her share of faults (to lots of readers' reliefs). This book brings feeling, truth, friendship and adventure to it's peak with only a few words, but it's so well-written that you catch on and realize that in it's own way, it's explaining a lifetime. Read this book anyday and I assure you you'll be glad you did!

Did you wonder about Juniper's past after reading Wise Child? This book tells her coming of age as a Doran. Born a princess, Juniper is sent to live with her godmother. Though she first scorns Euny's way of life, she comes to respect it. On her return home Juniper finds that her father's kingdom is in the clutches of an evil soceress, someone who is closer to her family than is healthy. Monica Furlong has again succeeded in spinning a gripping tale. Read this book!
