Kelsey must find a way to survive, while ancient demons attempt to destroy her. Soon she realizes that it is not she who is doing the hunting, but the one being hunted.
With the help of her companion, Detective Desmond Gisborne, she hunts the killers across the globe and discovers a darkness in her spiritual past that tests the very limits of her soul. Before she can locate the murderers, she has to discover their motives for the brutal crime and finds herself at the epicenter of a Buddhist mystery as old as time. Twenty-two year old Kelsey Porter has dedicated her life to avenging the death of her parents, murdered in their quest to find the mystical land of Xanadu.

I have no doubt The Hunt for Xanadu is as enjoyable read as Flying to the Light. The pace of her stories is fast, making this reader forget he should be getting ready to catch flight, or get some much needed sleep. Children shouldn’t have to go through the trauma and difficulties Elyse puts her characters through. She put children into situations that had this adult squirming to get involved in the story and help the characters out. The plot of that story surprised me since Elyse is a mother.

Middle grade readers will be trapped within the pages of the book for hours at a time. His thoughts towards Amelia, a crippled friend he reluctantly makes, illuminated the differences in how boys and girls think and were smile invoking.Īnyone looking for a book to take them back to their youth, or have children this age, will enjoy reading this book. I also liked how aware Mars was of his parents and the thoughts he had about their relationship, and turmoil they were putting him through. These instances make the realistic actions and conversations the eleven year olds in this story have realistic. There were several times when a character would use a word some adults might think to advance for an eleven year that another character would question its meaning, which made this reviewer smile. The writing isn’t dumbed down for younger readers which made it enjoyable reading and would expand a younger reader’s vocabulary. Bartlett does an excellent job of putting us into the head of eleven year old Mars and the difficulties he faces moving to a new town. Although this book is categorized as a middle grade novel, this middle-aged adult loved it.
