Brigitte Novalis
Author
Quentin Academy of Magical Arts and Sciences
“Ms. Novalis has her own unique voice that makes it feel fresh and exciting, and the cast of characters were terrific, … It had it all, seriously…adventure, drama, magic, danger, friends, powers of nature and life and love, good and evil… takes us on an unforgettable, and ultimately fulfilling journey that I won’t soon forget.”
-Nikki Turnage
"Anna and the Missing Child" by Brigitte Novalis was such an unexpected delight!... its charm knows no age limit! I thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter and all sorts of magical realism, but it was the narrative I was most impressed by - a lyrical, almost poetic prose that has a more 'classical' and literary instead of a 'flash in the moment' feel. The pacing is fluid, and there is never a boring moment. "
