BOOK REVIEW EXCERPTS:

Independent Professional Book Reviewers: The author, obviously very gifted, has crafted a dramatic adventure with a magical storyline that brings the characters to life with vivid description and appropriate dialogue.

Bestsellersworld.com: Even many adults would enjoy this story. As I read I couldn't but help think of what a great movie it would make.

Reader's Choice Book Reviews: The book captivates from the Prologue. Amy Nielsen has created a universe with lovable creatures, horrible monsters, and mythical magic, effectively keeping readers of all ages entertained from cover to cover.

Pacific Book Review: Amy Nielsen takes readers on this beautifully written childhood story in her novel Victor and the Sun Orb. In the wake of creative authors such as Hans Christian Andersen, each page is open and bright with clarity of the altruistic goals and motivations of her characters.

AllBooks Review: This is an enchanting and extraordinary book, full of magic, mystery, machinations and more. A fascinating story with lots of twists and turns, you must read and find out what happens in this compelling quest.

Feathered Quill Book Reviews: Amy Nielsen puts forth a story that will keep readers ripping through the pages. It is a good choice for both pre-teens and young adults; both will be drawn into the mystifying world of Sun Fairies.

The Book Buff: The book is a wonderfully written YA mini-epic. It isn't quite as epic as say The Chronicles of Narnia, but it absolutely holds its own. Much like Narnia, this book is one that can be enjoyed at any age, teen or adult.

Muncie Times: I thought about Peter Pan and his beloved Tinker Bell while reading this exceptional offering by Nielsen. Exceptional in that the author has taken her craft beyond just the typical fiction fantasy and painted a biological sketch of an improbable dimension.

San Francisco Book Review: Amy Nielsen fuses our contemporary world with a fantastical one with fairly few hiccups and a well-paced plot. Moral confliction, betrayal, and its stark opposite loyalty are running themes throughout the adventurous novel.

The US Review of Books: She weaves a fantastical tale that embraces the familiar magical charm of classic fairytales and mythology.

Readers Favorite: Victor and the Sun Orb is a brilliantly written and edited original fairy tale that has good guys, bad guys, and a storyline that never fails. It's a great selection for preteens who recall favorite folktales with enthusiasm and love.

A good mind never stops learning. Read.

In the land of Solandia, a young sun fairy prince Victor is cursed to become mortal on his baptism day. He is forced to leave Solandia at the age of thirteen and live with humans, perhaps never to return. His quest to find the sun orb and fight the dark-hooded figure are the ultimate ways to get his power back and save the sun fairies from being perished forever.
