Product Description

Midnight: a mist-haunted wood with a bad reputation. A sweet sixteen party, and thirteen-year-old Nell is trying to keep her sister, spoilt birthday-girl Gwen, out of trouble. No chance. Trouble finds Gwen and drags her through the mist. Only Nell guesses who's behind the kidnap - the boy she hoped was her friend, the gorgeous but mysterious Evan River. Evan is no ordinary boy - he has a secret which will lead Nell to question everything she has always learned from her grandmother's stories. Evan lives on the fringes of Nell's world, rarely glimpsed, misunderstood and feared, but a long-simmering showdown between the two worlds is looming ...

Bring on the sequel 21 April 2012
Format:Paperback
What really appealed to me about Mist by Kathryn James is, I will admit, the beautiful cover. I think it's lovely. And I was also quite curious about how and where British author Kathryn James would take this story. once I began, I couldn't stop reading Mist!

It's a book about a girl who travels into an Elven mist in order to rescue her sister. I love that Nell, our main character is 13 and that this book is aimed at 10+ but still this book is exciting and dangerous and thrilling. This book would be exactly what I'd want to read, both at that age and now. Especially as Nell is a bit different and stands out a bit by her unusual dress-sense and being the only person who can remember Evan River's name.

I really loved seeing how Nell's nan's stories of the Elven have come true in this book. Fairy stories and legends are always so fascinating that I love that storytelling aspect. And the mist and the woods that surrounds Nell's town is pretty creepy. I love that Kathryn James took inspiration from the British woodlands in order to create this fictional land of the Elven!

Despite warnings from the boy Nell is crushing on, Nell's sister Gwen has a late-night 16th birthday party in the woods and is taken by the Elven. It up to Nell and cute but mysterious Evan River to journey into the mist and rescue Gwen. Nell must use all her wits in order to go up against the Elven, to barter for her older sister, and to make it make it out of the Mist in time.

It's very exciting, this book. I'm pleasantly surprised with how addictive reading it became. I wanted Nell to succeed very badly and I just couldn't see how it could be accomplished throughout most of the book. I loved reading of Nell's relationships - both with her sister, Gwen and with Evan. The Elven sound pretty interesting with the different families and power struggles. I can see myself really enjoying learning more about this new world.

Bring on the sequel, Frost, published later this year!

Couldn.t stop reading 25 Dec 2011

Format:Kindle Edition
i ended up reading till midnight, not ideal the night before christmas.
overall the book was brilliant as a 13 year old i loved it but the book is not as complex or intricate as some readers desire but i loved the constant felling of excitement, fear and underliningly hope for the young girl tryin to save her beautiful if slightly stupid sister who always the center of the party becomes the center of danger.

Extra Stories yea! 28 Nov 2011
By HJL
Format:Paperback
I loved this book :)The author Kathryn JAmes came to our school and that's how I got to know about it. I think I am like Nell the heroine. I joined the Face book page Kathryn James Books and tha is where I found that they are extra stories too. She calls them webi-stories and they fill in till the next book and tell you more about the Elven and the other characters. They are quick to read which I like. Here they are [...]
