This book is for fantasy/sci-fi/ and dragon lovers everywhere. I bought it on a fluke - found it online for a 99 cent download. Considering most of what I've read lately, I figured it was worth a try. This book has a very interesting premise. The children of Requiem ruled the land and sky - they were a people who could take the shape of dragons, at will. Then, one among them, born without the magic to transform turned against them. A terrible war was fought and only a few children of Requiem survive. The traitor, Dies Irae, rules over a new land with fear and a terrible might. Can Benedictus, king of Requiem, find the survivors of his people and save the land from his terrible brother? If you enjoy this genre, I recommend this book, especially for young lovers of fantasy.

This is the touching story of a young girl whose life comes to a close much to early; however, this is not a story about her death but about what happens after. Riley has a difficult time moving beyond the Earth plane, but with the help of her loving dog Buttercup she finally arrives in the Here and Now, only to discover that her life is far from over.

Riley and Buttercup have been given a job, as soul catchers. Their first assignment is the "Radiant boy", a ghost that has been haunting an ancient English castle for centuries. Can Riley and Buttercup succeed and help the Radiant boy find his way to the bridge to Here and Now?

I picked this book up because my 5th grade girls seem to have a penchant for the supernatural and other-worldly type stories. This book has many good messages in it like acceptance of yourself for who you are and never, ever judging a book by it's cover.

If you have a young reader who enjoys these kinds of stories, I recommend Radiance.
