Enchanted Sisters: Autumn's Secret Gift was a delightful tale that dealt with nature, magic, adventure and family. With beautifully crafted word pictures and appealing illustrations, this book drew me in quickly and easily. It totally rocked!
The author did a really good job of presenting a playful story while at the same time addressing some tough issues. Issues such as taking responsibility, living with integrity, sibling relations, teasing, the pressure to perform, self-doubt, fear, recklessness, betrayal, self-realization and acceptance were touched on in the deeper story. All in all, this was a pretty creative story with a fun twist. I loved the ending.

First tale of enchanted sister, each one a season, and well you see where it is going.
Pretty average and forgettable stuff, it would be difficult to get kids excited over this I think, but stranger things have happened.

Mixed feelings about this one. For starters why are all the good people in the story girls and why are all the bad people boys? I liked, though, how the girls used the boys' tendency to fight among themselves to their advantage. I also liked how the plot was cleverly resolved by having all the girls and boys come together in the end in a way that was quite possible. And I liked it that Mother Nature saw a need for the bad boys in her scheme. But the girls and their love of sparkle was a bit too much.
