From the Publisher
We knew "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" was a very special book as soon as we read it. We were even more amazed when we found out the author at the time was only 12 years old. This is a great story full of humor, action, and adventure, and a story that will you'll remember long after you finish it. We invite you to read "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" and see for yourself why we are so excited about this book.

From the Author
I've always loved reading. My favorite books are filled with humor, action, and adventure. I've been writing stories and reading them to friends and in school for as long as I can remember. When I was in the fourth grade I started writing even more stories, and my teacher encouraged me to write a book. I started several books, but it wasn’t until I started writing "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" that I really put my heart into it. "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" is the first book in the Wizards of Skyhall trilogy.

My whole point in writing "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" was to create the kind of book that I loved reading. I wanted it to be a really good book, and I worked very hard to make sure it had everything I think makes a good book. I hope when you read it you think it’s cool.

My favorite part of the book is how the wizards protect the people of earth from all the bad things, and how the wizards can step through portals to travel to other worlds and dimensions. I like how Arianna was a bad kid who becomes a force for good. As I wrote about Arianna, Meilan, Ranth, and all the rest, they became like good friends. The growing friendship between Arianna, Meilan, and Ranth is strong and an important part of the story.

I hope you like the wizarding universe I created. I tried to make it as real and complex as our own with strange new worlds and places to visit.

I finished writing the book when I was twelve. My sixth-grade teacher encouraged me to try to get it published. I tried and tried and in six months time I had several interested publishers, but the problem was they didnt know I was a kid. When I got another letter from a local publisher, I decided to tell them I was only twelve. They were so nice that thats the publisher I decided to have as my publisher. The publisher worked with me for over a year on the book.

From the Inside Flap

Don't miss the exciting debut of teen author J. R. King. In the tradition of Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter, Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall is an amazing work of fantasy fiction full of action, adventure, and humor. Perfect for the young and the young at heart.

From the moment Arianna Kelt sees a wizard, her life changes forever. For you see, being a wizard seer is not a good thing because it means the law gnomes are going to come after you and before you know it you re going to be on trial in the People Court. Wizard seers everywhere beware!

Dear Readers,

"Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" was my debut novel and I wrote the book when I was 12 years old. About a year and a half later, and after a lot of hard work, the book was published (in 2006). In 2008, the sequel, "Arianna Kelt and the Renegades of Time," was published, shortly after my 15th birthday.

As of this writing, I am 17 years old and hard at work on "Arianna Kelt and the Return of Mobius." For those who have written to ask about the name, Mobius, it does indeed come from two sources. A "mobius" is a wakeboarding trick with a 360 and a flip and roll. A "mobius strip" is a continuous single-sided surface. The character Mobius is a slippery, trickster, as you'll know if you read the books!

I've always loved reading. My favorite books are filled with humor, action, and adventure. I've been writing stories and reading them to friends and in school for as long as I can remember. When I was in the fourth grade I started writing even more stories, and my teacher encouraged me to write a book. I started several books, but it wasn't until I started writing "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" that I really put my heart into it. "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" is the first book in the Wizards of Skyhall trilogy.

The growing friendship between Arianna, Meilan, and Ranth is strong and an important part of the story.

I hope you like the wizarding universe I created. I tried to make it as real and complex as our own with strange new worlds and places to visit.

See you in Xjoz!

Wow, such an amazing story from such a young author

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2007

In this accessible, almost-cinematic fantasy, Arianna is a mixed up teen who is up to no good when she accidentally sees a wizard. She's then abducted and taken away to Xjoz where she must stand trial as a wizard seer and where her fate is decided. Arianna just wants to get home, but her abilities as a wizard seer put the magical realms in danger. Given a choice between exile or learning to use her wizard seeing skills, Arianna decides to train as a wizard, knowing if she fails she'll be doomed to exile forever.

Arianna is not an eager hero, but with common sense, quick thinking, and determination she grows into the role. The quirky gnome, Digorence, who provides some comic relief, also plays a key part because of his ability to create magical machines. Exciting scenes and cliff-hanger chapters are balanced by decisions and interactions that drive the action. Arianna is not the most compelling figure at first, but as the story progresses she becomes more interesting, maturing through the challenges she faces.

Supporting characters are generally engaging, particularly the enigmatic Meilan and the moody Ranth. This is an engrossing adventure for fantasy fans and for those new to the genre.

Interesting Concept

Interesting concept but the characters were a little bland and the plot seemed to drag. It was one of those books I finished strictly because I started it.

Is there a point of this story? Plot is far fetched to get get to. No adhesives to the story. Background is needed on Arianna's involvement in magic To what end is?the training to accomi.

I just couldn't finish this the sentence structure and level of writing was just to immature. I wish I could say that the plot and story line was enough to carry the book, but is was Harry Potter goes to school with the Brady Bunch. Sorry not my cup, read a sample but get past the first chapter which is a surprisingly good start.

definitely a good story line, but sometimes hard to follow. i liked how elements were incorporated with the magic (if you read the book you will understand this!) I am glad I read it!!!

I struggled with the complexity and very jagged flow of the story. Unfortunately would not recommend. Hopefully the author continues to develop their voice and style.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2006

What an incredible story Wizards of Skyhall is! It's filled with lush detail and such an interesting plot and complex characters that the final chapter leaves any reader hungry for the next book. The author started writing this book at the age of 12, and did an incredible job. The story is about a young teen named Arianna, who lives in an orphanage and is always getting into trouble. One day, while out in the city, she sees a strange man in a poited hat and thinks to herself "Does the fool think he's a wizard or something?" and it turns out it is a wizard she sees, only no human is supposed to be able to see wizards so she is taken to Skyhall, where the wizards live, and put on trial for being a wizard seer. It's funny, and mysterious. There's tons of action too especially when Arianna begins her "training". This is an incredible book. I find myself looking forward to the next installment more than any other book.
