Lucia's Fantasy World - Five Stars
Lucia’s Fantasy World, by Donan Berg, is a captivating story about a courageous and caring young girl named Lucia. One day while sledding with her friend, Johnny, he is sent to the hospital due to immense pain in his leg related to an infection. Lucia, with the help of her friend Omar, goes on a journey to help heal Johnny. On this journey she finds out that there is something special about her and she just might be able to help her friend more than she thought.
This charming and intriguing story is the perfect read for a young adult or middlegrade audience. The tone is fairytale-esque and the author perfectly captures the innocence and imagination of the characters in the book.
The relationship between Omar and Lucia is one that young readers will easily be able to relate to. They set out on adventures together, get into mischief, and care for one another. I enjoyed reading about the fun Lucia had while playing with her friend Johnny, it brought back a nostalgic feeling and made me remember when I was a child.
Berg’s excellent use of description plays a big part in the book as Lucia and the reader is transported into a far-off land that is many centuries in the past. I also thought it was interesting to read about the moment Lucia grows up from calling her Mom, Mommy to Mother. I feel the author captured this transition perfectly as there is a moment in a child’s life where they decide they must grow up. Berg shows young readers that it is ok to want to help your friends and through Lucia’s story he helps readers cope with hard times.
Lucia’s Fantasy World, by Donan Berg, is a magical story that will take you on a fascinating adventure with Lucia. Filled with child-like imagination, friendship, adventure, magic, and sorcery this book is the perfect fantasy book for middle aged children who are looking for an imaginative coming of age adventure. –Five Stars, Literary Titan
