Tyler Hartmann had made mistakes, but today was the worst so far. The ship he was on with his mom had been caught in a storm and slammed against some rocks. Soaked by the pouring rain and confused by the darkness, Tyler and the other children had jumped into a lifeboat. It was what they’d been taught by the captain their first day on the ship. But the adults had all gotten on a separate lifeboat. When the two crafts hit the water and were battered by the waves, there had been no way to keep them together. We are on our own.

After waking up, Steve doesn't know where he is. Heck, he doesn't know what he is. Despite his spotty memory, he's pretty sure he didn't used to be a floating ball of light. He's also certain that he's not originally from this dangerous fantasy world...maybe. Okay, fairly certain. To make things stranger, he seems to be involved in something big, something magical...a game. Who was he before? Will his memories come back? Why does he have an assistant explaining the game's rules to him? He can evolve? There's a countdown timer? One thing Steve does know is that he needs to figure out what's going on fast, and if he is playing a game, even a deadly one, he plans to win.

And if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won’t be the end of his story. Sometimes, another chance can be an opportunity for redemption.

Does the horse really have magic? If so, maybe the horse could make Éclair’s secret wish come true. READERS FAVORITE 5 STARS*****In Eclair Meets a Gypsy by Michelle Weidenbenner, Éclair is a seven-year-old girl spending the summer with her grandmother while her mother is in the hospital and her father is away at another job. While Grandma is a little kooky, she provides a stable and loving home. The premise of this delightful story is plausible to me, even if the magic is internal rather than emanating from a horse.The author does an excellent job in creating the context for the story so that the reader understands the difficulties Éclair is facing. --Charles Ashbacher
