Dager of the Tasman empiremnon
Ruthlessly torn away from his family at the tender age of three subsequently sold as a slave the little boy endures unbelievable brutality Thankful for his nightly dreams about magical faraway places and the constant companionship of his equally neglected farmyard friends he survives Two agonizing years pass he receives a mysterious message and learns that he has a family that loves him He also discovers that he has a name and that his family has never given up hope of his eventual return With resolve that he didn t know he had the little boy puts up the fight of his life to return to his home Dager of the Tasman EmpireA long long time ago on a dark and stormy night a short story was written for three children to enjoy Well to be honest it may not have been dark and stormy that night and it wasn t really a long long time ago Anyway one thing led to another as things often do and that short story soon evolved into a long story that many people enjoyed My first novel Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom was born and although it was for the most part happy and enjoyed favourable reviews it was lonely And so about one year later Dager of the Tasman Empire made its way to the surface I am pleased to say these two novels are now living happily ever after Imogene has received the Canada Book Award and Reader s Favorite Award and Dager has received the Literary Classics Seal of Approval These books are available on in kindle and paperback formats As fate would have it while reporting an ice fishing yes really event for a local newspaper I interviewed a fellow frozen well fellow and through chattering teeth we began talking about the craft As it turned out he had a vision and he was looking for someone just like me to help him see it through We joined forces and his vision became the 12 book Along the Way series starring our prehistoric friend Albert and it is the brainchild of my good friend Bob Winterford I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review Dager is a young boy who gets kidnapped at a young age due to a conflict between his father and someone who tries to take his place The book is about a family reuniting after a long time and setting up a world where everything is better. Book Dager of the Tasman empire pdf Things I liked and appreciated the books main theme is family and I think that s very important In a market where every book talks about boys and girls going on adventures and solving mysteries without their parents books such as Dager of the Tasman Empire are needed to show young children that in reality parents are needed and family is as important as anything else. Dager of the Tasman Empire ebooks The books is specially a very light read It does have intriguing moments and scenes that build up tension but all in all it s not packed with adventure scenes and fights and focuses on building up a world where everything is alright or at least is going to be The writing was also easy to understand and follow The only thing that bothered me in the writing was the old man and the hag s dialect It was kind of hard for me to understand what they were saying Where I easily read the book at their parts I needed to stop and figure out each words equivalent I can only imagine how it s going to be for younger readers Also I still don t understand how they both got Cured of their way of talking when they turned younger I mean okay they ve became beautiful and kind and all But why should something like this T is time T is time I say I ve found the lost un I ve found im al ight turn into a coherent speech with accurate grammatical points Also I believe Dager and the Tasman Empire is a standalone novel At least that s how it s mentioned on goodreads For a standalone the descriptions of how everything works was not enough I would have loved to know about how the council works Or why there were only just two Curors Was that something that no one could manage Then how have Croy came to be If people can be a Curor with practice then why nobody else tries to be one and help the village How does the magic even work What are its limits If they can Cure people of their bad habits and behaviors then why don t they change everyone Questions questions P. Book Dager of the Tasman empire pdf S another thing Dager as mentioned in the book is five years old I assume he is described much mature than his age because he has spent some time with the hag and the hardships he s endured has changed him into who he is But the other children showed varying types of behavioral antics that made me question their supposed age Dager s sister is younger than him and she mostly acts like a clueless young child which is what I would have normally assumed then she goes and says something that makes me feel like she s at least seven years old And then comes Pagan who is said to be the same age as Dager Then there s this scene in which Lucia Dager s sister who is younger than them both knows about pregnancy and she doesn t 236 What a sweet little book 3. Book Dager of the Tasman empire auto This year hasn t been that great for reading so the first thing I need to do is thank Teresa for being very patient with me as she s been waiting about three months for this review now This is a fun little book full of whimsy and magic and the fantastical a book about family and surviving and the things that both separate us and bring us together The main character Dager is kidnapped from his family as a young child and subjected to a difficult upbringing far away from those who love him and the book takes us through the journey he goes on to get back to them I would have appreciated a bit depth to the characters but I could still empathize with them and what they were going through particularly the children There s something universal about the desire of a child to have and be with their family I think and that s at play here Although the writing could be a little fluid at times I really appreciated the story that the author was telling It s engaging and sweet and also than a bit heartwarming This book is a great one for younger readers along with Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom also by the same author 236 Dager of the Tasman Empire is a sweet story about a boy initially estranged from his family who reunites with them in a magical land underneath the surface Overall I really enjoyed reading this story as it was warm and often made me smile The good I liked the characters especially Dager and the other children and the story always had a warm happy feeling to it I actually liked that Dager was made to seem far mature than his age The writing was easy to read and had a folk story tone which I enjoyed There were a couple spots which I felt could use a bit of extra polish but overall well written I also liked the theme of family and while the story was not an edge of your seat page turner it somehow managed to keep me engaged and invested throughout Overall it was a pleasant read for me and I imagine the target age group would enjoy it even The bad My only qualm with the book was in the attempts to impart morality which I felt fell short and came off rather simple For example in the advanced town where women and men are to be treated equally you still have all the men building huts while the woman gather fruit Had the author not tried to make feminism a theme this would not have bothered me but given that a spot light is shone on the issue I would have liked to see a truly strong female character Even Goy one of the stronger women in the book knows that she should not listen in when her husband and son talk about Curer affairs And not once does she make a decision contrary to her husband s advice Also the book seemed to link goodness to beauty which I did not quite approve of However while these issues bothered me a bit as an adult reader I doubt the children this book is meant for would even notice and it was only a minor irritation for me in an otherwise enjoyable read Age group From the easy writing style and feel good story line I believe this tale is targeted towards 4th and 5th graders It might even be enjoyed by a younger audience if they can tolerate the longer narrative Disclaimer Thank you to the author for providing a free copy in exchange for my honest non reciprocal review 236 I received this book free in exchange for an honest review Magical This is the second book I have read by Teresa Schapansky and again I want For me there is a feeling of love and respect in her writing Human respect for each other and the environment There was a passage I read where not a spoiler a leaf floated above and whirled around with other leaves As I read it it made me think of being in Wonderland Just a simple wonderland I could just see it happening I could picture the miniseries for kids The lessons one could learn will help build foundations for so many that now only know what they think is entitled to them And a bonus is that their imaginations will be put to good use I will definitely keep these books on my shelf for future use in my business They can help the young and not so old to dobetter Feeling meter Magical with real life lessons LOVE 236 I received an ARC from the author Teresa Schapansky in exchange for an honest review Okay so I have mixed feelings about this book but overall this was an okay read that I enjoyed. Dager of the Tasman empirey eq What I really liked about it is that the most important thing is family and that it stands above all I liked how the characters would go as far as sacrificing everything for their family and how they are always taking care of each other I also loved how they wanted to create a new village where women are equal to men Some things really intrigued me and made me interested in knowing how the story will end Example When Dager cut his hand and it was cured all on its own Also I liked how the chapters were not long so I was not bored and finished the book quickly The scenes with Maybelle P Bonnadoolio were amusing and I think children will enjoy them. Book Dager of the Tasman empire today However I didn t like certain things The characters didn t warm up to me easily and I found that for a villain Croy didn t have a strong character Sometimes I thought that the children were way older than what they seem to be Also I hated how everything was solved in a simple easy way and that there was not a battle between good and bad I was not really into the world because I thought it was not very well described and that was the reason why I couldn t picture it In all this is not a bad book I recommend it for children 236

Family comes first that s the first thing popped up in my head reading the short description of the book What I had in mind afterwards was the main character who would do anything to in the name of family As I started to read I discovered that this book is actually for kids The writing style the conversation the scenes they are very easy to follow unlike most books I read recently which I had to read twice to fully understand the meaning I don t read children book quite a lot but I know that the main character seems a bit mature for children at his age Well probably the author wants to give an impression to readers that tough life gets you mentally older Apart from that overall I believe this book is a perfect reading for bedtime story It will educate young kids to understand that family matters 236 I found this enchanting.
