Product Description
Sometimes the most powerful magic is revealed in the least expected places . . .
Book Description
When fifteen-year old Tegen is declared the Star Dancer – the one who will save her people from a terrible evil – she is stunned. Tegen has nothing in common with the mystical druids whose rituals protect her village. She’s just a normal girl, not a hero. Then Tegen learns to work real magic with an enchanted silk shawl, and has no choice but to accept her destiny. But there are those who are hell bent on destroying her before she can fulfil the prophecy – and defeat the enemy that threatens her world . . .

Strong storyline and lyrical writing,
By
This review is from: Star Dancer (Hardcover)
This excellent book had me captivated from the first line:
'The stars danced all that night, but the midwife did not stop to watch.' The story follows Tegen, a girl born to ordinary parents, who finds she is The Star Dancer of prophecy. The story line is strong - no spoilers here! - but it is the lyrical quality of the writing and the wonderful descriptions that left me wanting more. Looking forward to the sequel 'The Fire Dancers', due September 2007.

A chance purchase,
By
This review is from: Star Dancer (Hardcover)
This was a chance buy, a look at the cover and hope kind of decision made during a lengthy browse in a bookshop (oops, is that allowed in here?). To be fair, I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised.
This is ... almost...ish... similar in a way to the Michelle Paver Wolf Brother series. Tegen is a very powerful lead character and the all-pervasive magic that surrounds the community is utterly engaging. Beth Webb creates a convincing world that it is easy to slip into but difficult to pull yourself away from. I was struck by the 'womanliness' about the book, style and content, but will be really pushing it towards my boys at school, particularly as puberty knocks. The plot is strong, each page taking you towards an increasingly uncertain conclusion to dilemma and counter-dilemma. The reader is often left hanging, knuckles white and exhausted from lack of sleep. The only negative aspect - no sequel until Sept 2007!
