About The Adventures Of Crimson And The Guardian
Product Description Young orphan Kinsey is taking the path through the forest to visit her sister who works in the kitchens of the nearby castle, when Crimson the unicorn emerges from the trees and changes her life forever. There is trouble in the kingdom and Crimson need’s Kinsey’s help to overcome it. Reluctant and unprepared, Kinsey isn’t ready to be a hero. But as evil closes in and threatens the people she cares about, Kinsey is faced with a choice: run from her destiny, or face it head on. With the help and guidance of Crimson, plus the unexpected and often strange friends she makes on her journey, she conquers one enemy after another, plus her fear; and learns that her destiny is something far greater than she could have ever imagined.

Review "When I was a child, I often fantasised about being chosen for a quest -- for destiny to come knocking and have something epic to say. For kids who can relate, The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian will take you on that epic quest. Kinsey is an orphaned servant girl. She works in a castle kitchen, and while her employer treats her well, Kinsey knows she was meant to do more with her life. Walking in the forest to visit her sister, Kinsey finds a magical cloak. A unicorn emerges from the trees, and Kinsey's life changes forever. There is trouble in the kingdom, and Crimson the unicorn needs Kinsey to help fight it. Reluctant and unprepared, Kinsey isn't ready to be a hero. But as evil closes in and threatens the people she cares about, Kinsey is faced with a choice: run from her destiny, or face it head on. The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian is an epic adventure filled with unicorns, dwarfs, elves, shadow-bloods and many more magical and fantastical creatures. Some of these I was familiar with, but others I had never heard of (and I suspect are Cossey's own creation). I love this about the book. It pushes fantasy outside the box and delivers fresh content full of imagination. I also really liked and related to Kinsey as a character. She has great inner strength and a strong desire to do the right thing. But like everyone, she has doubts about her abilities and must dig deep to be brave when danger looms. As she journeys with Crimson the unicorn, Kinsey's confidence grows. She stands up for what she believes in, and she finds her own path to victory. I love this message for kids. Sometimes things are hard, and sometimes we want more than anything to run away and hide. But believing in yourself, standing up and saying 'I won't run,' can lead to the most amazing adventures. Without illustrations, I'd put The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian at the older end of junior fiction or younger end of middle grade. It's an easy read, so it's a good choice for chapter book kids ready for their next reading challenge. Filled with magic, fantasy and action-adventure that never stops, this is one for the kids ready to say yes to the quest." - Shaye Wardrop, Kid's Book Review About the Author Karen has been writing stories ever since her primary teacher told her she had a great imagination when she explained that her math homework had been eaten by her pet cow. Stories were everywhere she looked, especially as she grew up in between the pages of books. She left academic life, headed away from her pet cow and towards the city and after many exciting "life experiences" (something she was told she needed to have to be a writer) she settled in a seaside town with great weather and even better fish and chips. Having helped prepare her two children to leave home by teaching them their alphabet and the effects of vinegar on baking soda, she now spends her days working with her husband in their family business, writing stories and going gardening with her pet cat to keep her company
