Review:
The Wishing Well, Another Weaver Tale is a delightful story that is similar to a cinderella story in the fact that the main character, Molly Minstrel, is treated terribly by her mother and her sisters while she still keeps that sweet disposition as she cleans and takes in the verbal abuse. The difference is that the story takes a fantasy twist with the unique and special character named Unwanted. This character brings humor to the story, yet at the same time also brings in that hint of truth. Before someone can make a wish they should know what they truly want.
Molly is a great character who shows strength and determination to overcome her bad situation, she does find a way to make her life better, but not before it gets worse. It is then she realizes her true strength and what she really wants in her life. In doing so, she teaches children some great life lessons. Children from the ages of 8 to 12 will enjoy Mrs. Strands writing style and humor amid the characters turmoil. She has a way of absorbing the reader into the characters and storyline.

Thanks Renee and Kai. What a great interview! The concept of The Wishing Well is wonderful. Great messages that children need to hear, and in the form of a wonderful story filled with magic! I learned so much from you, Kai, and can relate in many ways. Wishing you both much success in all of your endeavors. I've shared the interview on FB and email. As a retired teacher, I'm recommending your book to friends, fans and colleages. Bette
