Product Description

Synopsis
When Sherwood Smith was eight years old, a girl named Clair walked into her dreams, bringing hints of a world where girls could adventure, live on their own, and best of all, didn't have to grow up. Clair traveled about looking for girls who needed a home. She even came to Earth, where she found CJ, who did not fit. CJ found herself not only taken to another world to live, but she became the princess -- Clair's "left hand splat." One of her jobs as princess was to write down their records. Another was to serve as leader for the girls when Clair was busy learning to become queen. The girls had jobs too, as they discovered villains who thought it their business to take a kingdom away from a mere girl. From the shadowy Kwenz, a powerful mage with a very wicked past, to the usurper Glotulae and her son Prince Jonnicake, who in their ridiculous way were just as determined to boot Clair out, there were plenty of chances for adventure. And mystery, like why did kids from other times and worlds show up every now and then? These are the early stories -- how Clair found her gang of girls, and how "the M girls" developed the fine art of the Duel to the Pie.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is such a fun book!, 8 Feb 2008
By M. Brinkley "Maggie the old trout" (Hoddesdon, Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I only read Sherwood Smith's wonderful YA book 'Crown Duel' last year, and I loved it. A courageous heroine, an elegant court, danger and excitement! Terrific stuff! 'Over The Sea' is set in the same world as 'Crown Duel' and has the same charm.

It begins, however, with a girl on Earth who doesn't fit in to 20th Century American life. She meets Clare, a girl from another world, who takes her from her unhappy home to a land where there is magic, and a castle in the sky, and villains who want to take over the kingdom. Clare is the young queen, and she has gathered a group of girls as her friends.

Unlike many other fantasies, this book is fun. The episode when the girls fight nasty Prince Jonnicake with disgusting magic pies had me laughing till I cried. I wish I had been able to read this when I was 13, rather than as a middle-aged mum of 53!

The prose style is not perhaps as polished as other YA books, but this isn't surprising, as it was written when Ms Smith was 15. The story is gripping, the characters individual. The relationships between the girls rings very true: these aren't angelic little beings, they are real children. When the book arrived and I sat down with a cuppa to read a few chapters before tackling the ironing - well, let's just say that the ironing didn't even get started till the next day.

An excellent book.
