Mrs. Perivale and the Blue Fire Crystal (1)

Product Description

“People your age belong at home.” 73 year old Mrs. Perivale is told when she tries to volunteer. With her son grown and gone, and her community turning their backs on her, the gravity of no longer being needed sinks her spirits deeply. She wonders if she has outlived her usefulness until a mystical little creature sneaks into Alice Perivale’s home and begs her to come with him; there is a prophecy about her, and she must help save his world!
Finding herself in an extraordinary place she had no idea existed, committed to a dangerous mission far more vital than helping out in her neighborhood, Alice dusts off her courage and bravery, rediscovering the feisty, sassy, powerhouse woman she is deep inside. She is determined to find the stolen Blue Fire Crystal before the imbalance between elements destroys all of the magical land of Corevé. Together with her remarkable family of six cats and her skeptical-yet-devoted butler Henderson, she takes on the tremendous challenge.
With time running out and the world falling to pieces, Alice’s precious companions are pulled away from her, and she is faced with impossible choices. Does she choose what she wants most of all, does she rescue her family, or does she save the world that will not survive without her?
Mrs. Perivale and the Blue Fire Crystal is the first book in the enchanting Mrs. Perivale YA fantasy series. If you’re looking to escape reality for a while with a laugh-out-loud, heart-touching adventure, discover the heroine you never knew you needed today!
#1 International Best Seller The internationally bestselling and much-beloved Mrs. Perivale series was written specifically for the viral meme below:
@broodingYAhero said, “It’s amazing how many prophecies involve teens. You’d think they’d pick more emotionally stable people, with more free time. Like grandmas.”
To which @Dinuriel replied, “…I would read the hell out of a series of a chosen eighty-five-year-old woman who goes on epic journeys throughout a dangerous and magical land, armed only with a cane and her stab-tastic knitting needles, accompanied by her six cats and a skittish-yet-devoted orderly who makes sure she takes her pills on time.
Wish Granted!

Review

“I am decades past YA and not quite as old as the main character, Mrs Perivale. I found it to be a “don’t bother me now -we are eating sandwiches for supper” kind of book. I went to bed thinking about the characters and story line and woke up thinking about it. I want to read it again so I can go on more adventures.” – Zoce
“How often do you have a heroine who isn’t a young, strong, beautiful girl with a great body? Here she is! Mrs. Perivale and her fantastic entourage of cats, and the butler of course, encompass so many facets of life that you have to love them. The book is so well written that you can see everything and everyone and clearly imagine them as you read.” – A. Erdmann
