TITLE: Witch Sticker Ball          SERIES: The Nature Elves #2 AUTHOR:RC Scott                     PUB DATE: 2/20/12 FORMAT: Kindle ebook             SOURCE: author

Three Witches have kidnapped the twin, Sky Elves' Mom! To save her these elven-year-old, Eagle Riders, Winghawk and Dorzi Vastplains, will have to enter their Wizard's mysterious Bubble World to hunt down the broken Witch Sticker Ball. It's scattered across time . . . and said to be in the hands of crusty, old Goblins. 

THREE WORDS: Lotsa' Enchanting Fun!

MY REVIEW: I greatly enjoyed RC Scott’s first book in the Nature Elves series, Dream Robbers, so I was super excited to read the next installment, Witch Sticker Ball, and it did not disappoint!

In Witch Sticker Ball the adventures of twin Sky Elves Winghawk and Dorzi Vastplains is continued. An evil witch, Big Mama , and her cronies, the Twits, kidnap the twins’ mother and they must rescue her. Winghawk, Dorzi and their Eagles must enter the mysterious Bubble World and travel through time to find the pieces of the Witch Sticker Ball…unfortunately, the different pieces are in the possession of some greedy Goblins. The twins embark on a grand adventure full of magic, fun and humor.

RC Scott offers readers another fantastical and enchanting story full of whimsy, laugh-out-loud humor and some heartwarming life lessons. Witch Sticker Ball is a quick read that will hold the attention of even young readers and will have you excitedly turning pages and chuckling from beginning to end.

I really love the captivating, vivid and magical world that Scott continues to create and expand in the Nature Elves series. Witch Sticker Ball is fantastically imaginative and inventive. Elves, goblins, wizards, fairies, magic flowers, enchanted curses, time travel, oh my! There are so many fascinating fairy-tale like creatures and settings in this book. Scott combines a wonderful mix of excitement, laughs, and fun thrills that are pitch-perfect for the book’s intended audience.

Scott’s characters are charming and compelling. Winghawk and Dorzi are simply delightful and so much fun. Younger readers will love how silly, brave and resourceful the Sky Elves twins are, while parents will appreciate the fact that the twins are very good role models. The witchy and goblin villains are fantastic as well; they’re superbly bad and nasty (which young readers will delight in).

The adventure the twins go on to rescue their mother takes them to some unexpected and exciting places, and I really enjoyed going on this adventure with them. Scott wraps up this adventure with a satisfying ending, but leaves plenty of room for more Elvish fun.

MY FINAL THOUGHTS: With plenty of excitement, laughs and enchanting magic, RC Scott’s Witch Sticker Ball is a great second volume in a super fun series, and quick, enjoyable MG read for all ages.

Review and Giveaway: Dream Robbers by RC Scott

TITLE: Dream Robbers                SERIES: Nature Elves AUTHOR: RC Scott                       PUB DATE: 12/1/11 PUB: Omega Star Pub                   FORMAT: ebook SOURCE: from the author in exchange for my honest review

Greedy thieves have stolen the children's dreams! And not just any dreams, mind you, but the Dreams of whom they are to become. With this loss children everywhere are becoming cross, and more misbehaved by the day. They are driving their parents mad.Only the rarest of Elves can do anything about it. These small, scarcely seen, Nature Elves in their remote Gypsy Village are hidden from the rest of the world. But the greedy Dream Robbers found them before committing the foul deed. Tricking and enspelling the adult Elves, the thieves sent them off to seek a false magic.Left alone in their Village, it's up to twelve, brave, Elf children to undertake a long and hazardous journey, and try to get their Dreams back. They must hurry though. The seeds within every child on Earth, the seeds these special Dreams nourish, are hardening. And, alas, hardened seeds can never sprout.If these young Elves stick together, they may have a chance, for they are not ordinary children. Within them, Nature's awesome powers bud: Thunder, Lightning, Rain, Snow and Fire. 

THREE WORDS: Enchanting, Magical, Fun

MY REVIEW: RC Scott’s Dream Robbers turned out to be such a surprising little gem! Wondrously whimsical and fantastically fun, I found this book to be a delightful read.

In Dream Robbers we are introduced to 12 Nature Elf children who have set out on a grand adventure. The adults in their Gypsy Village have been tricked to leave, their magical stream has dried up and with it their dreams have disappeared. So the 12 little elvesies set out to bring their stream and dreams back, and along the way they encounter fairies, evil trees, mean dwarves, and a shape-shifting ally.

Scott’s inventive imagination is apparent throughout this book. Dream Robbers offers an original and excitingly magical story. I was captivated from beginning to end and thoroughly enjoyed this story.

This book has all the qualities I look for in a fantasy (magic, whimsy, adventure), but also reads like a fairytale. The world Scott creates is vivid and believable, even in its whimsy and magic. The story is nicely paced and, even though it’s a short read at only 116 pages, it never felt rushed nor did it feel as though it were lacking anything. This book has a lot of amusing humor, rousing action and surprising depth.

Dream Robbers has a wonderful cast of engaging characters. The group of 12 elves is made up of characters with charming names like Boomer (Thunder Elf), Ashley Embereyes (Fire Elf), Wetina Rainbo (Water Elf), Sparklun (Lighting Elf) and many more. I was simply enchanted by these elves and loved that they all had distinct and interesting personalities. Scott definitely offers readers a dynamic group of main characters, which is especially important when trying to hold the attention of young readers.

I think younger and older readers alike will enjoy this book. This would be a super fun read-aloud story to share with a child or group of children. The ending leaves room for future adventures and I definitely look forward to more books about the Nature Elves.

My only complaint is not about the story itself, but an editing complaint. I noticed that there was an abundance of either unnecessary commas or missing commas. There were also a few spots were words seemed to be missing. Of course, these grammatical errors weren’t overly distracting and most readers probably wouldn’t even notice them.

 MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Dream Robbers is an awesome fantasy tale. Readers of all ages will be enchanted, enthralled, and excited by RC Scott’s well-written, whimsical story. I definitely recommend this book!
