About the Book
Book: Nomad
Author: RJ Anderson
Genre: Christian YA, Fairytale, Fantasy
Cast into exile, she must return to free her people.
Banished from her underground home by Betony, the queen of the Cornish piskeys, young Ivy sets out to forge a new life for herself in the world above. But a deadly threat lingers in the mine, and Ivy cannot bear to see her people suffer while Betony refuses to believe. Somehow she must convince the queen to let them go.
Her mission only becomes more complicated when Ivy starts to dream of the ancient battles between her ancestors and the spriggan folk. Who is the strange boy in her visions? Could her glimpses of his past help Ivy find a new home for her fellow piskeys?
To find the answers, Ivy must outfly vicious predators, outwit cunning enemies, and overcome her own greatest fears. And when evil threatens the people Ivy loves best, it will take all her courage, faith, and determination to save them.
Click here to get your copy!"Nomad" by RJ Anderson is the second book in the (The Flight and Flame) series, I recommend reading these books in order. If you have a young readers that likes to read about magical characters, I recommend this series. These books aren't really graphic, but there is violence and destroying of other characters by causing them to be turn into clay statues. The book is clean but if you are looking for a Christian fiction, I have to tell you there isn't mention of God or of Jesus dying to save us. I would still recommend this series. I think this series would be a great family movie that older children would enjoy.
I don't usually like YA books about mystical and magical characters but I will be watching for more opportunities to read more of RJ Anderson's books.
This series definitely shows that everything isn't always the way things seems.
I received a contemporary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.
