Lexicon Chase and the Scrolls of the Harlequin by J. Fore

[ray315200]

LEXICON CHASE AND THE SCROLLS OF THE HARLEQUIN is the perfect fantasy book for young girls. Don’t get me wrong, boys will enjoy it too but certain girls will love it. I liked this series a lot and if it keeps up the fun and excitement in books to come we may have another Harry Potter on our hands. Lexicon Chase starts in a fashion similar to Harry Potter. We have a smart quiet person who is bullied and tormented. It’s impossible for Lexicon to know her worth in our world and one of the most powerful scenes in the story is when after Lexicon’s abrupt arrival in Everhope, Maybell the chambermaid does her makeup and for the very first time in her young life the young Lexicon feels beautiful. She is so overwhelmed she cries.

Lexicon is now a princess Instead of being bullied and teased everyone respects or even fears her. It is a big adjustment but Lexicon jumps into her new life of magic, assassins, and a lost library as if she has been given a new lease on life. She dives into her new life and her new kingdom and we get to watch her grow and mature. She has always been a good person, a great person even but she just couldn't bloom in our modern, mundane world. The writing is excellent. The morals and lessons are relevant to kids and teenagers everywhere. Jonathan Fore has a sure winner here and I won’t be surprised to see Lexicon on the big screen one day.
