The Time Wreccas (Book 1)

Author: Val Tyler
Time taken: 2.5 Hours
Rating: 4/5

Review:
A very interesting book about magic people that we cannot see and their underground enemies whom with they do not often fight with.The underground people are the Wreccas and the above ground people are called the Guardians. The Guardians are the keepers of time. The story starts with the king of the Wreccas, Old Killjoy, sitting on a pile of rags that he thinks is his throne and picking his nose. As you progress through the book you learn that the Wreccas are a bunch of lazy, ignorant pigs who do nothing except eat, sleep, scavenge for food and terrorize the ones who are of a lower position or status.It is an incredibly good book and i have yet to find out how many there are in the series.

Rating: 4.5/5

Review:
A very interesting book about a 12 year old boy who will do anything to restore his family fortune. He lives in his manor with his butler, Butler, Butler's sister, Juliet, and his half-insane mother. His plan to restore his family fortune may destroy the entire world though. He first seeks out something known as the Book which is a sort of fairy bible. His plan is based on the many spectulations of the fairy people found on the Net. He finds one of the Book and his devious plan is put into action.
