Publisher's summary

Even though they attend a school of gifted students in New York City, child geniuses Louise Mayer and her twin sister Jillian have always felt alone in the world, isolated by their brilliance. Shortly before their ninth birthday, they make an amazing discovery. They're not alone. Their real mother was astronaut Esme Shenske and their father was the famous inventor, Leonardo Dufae. They have an older sister, Alexander, living on the planet of Elfhome, and four siblings still in cryogenic storage at the fertility center. There's only one problem: The frozen embryos are scheduled to be destroyed within six months. The race is on to save their baby brother and sisters. As a war breaks out on Elfhome and riots start in New York City, the twins use science and magic to plow over everything standing in their way. But when they come face to face with an ancient evil force, they're soon in over their heads in danger.

Excellent

The dialogue was very lively, an amazing mixture of outward social chatter & interior insights. While the girls seemed unstoppable the continual view of Louise’s worried musings & fears grounds the story. However it looks like a long wait for a continuation of the adventure. Highly recommended.

In some ways, this is one of the best in the serie

First, it will help to know that this one takes place almost exclusively on earth, and actually begins before Tinker. If you had to read it before any of the others, you could, but why? It covers a longer timeline, and so ends just before the end of Elfhome, suggesting that the two storylines are about to merge. Oh, the possibilities.
Tanya Eby does a really great job, especially with Joy and the babies' voices. I look forward to future books in this series.

Book 4 of the Elfhome series. Most Excellent

Book 4 takes place from a slightly different perspective. Adds a great deal to the story, and introduces wonderful new characters.

I missed the Tinker story but this was really good

Now I have to wait for another book and I really thought this was the end. That is my only complaint! This was a great book and a very easy read!

The best book so far!

Would you consider the audio edition of Wood Sprites to be better than the print version?

Although the book is wonderful, the audio book takes it to the next level. I have listened to the book at least a dozen times since I downloaded it, and it still makes me laugh and cry every time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the characters are so well written, it is hard to choose a favorite, but I have to say I do love Joy.

What about Tanya Eby’s performance did you like?

Tanya Eby is amazing, and she brings all of the characters to brilliant life.

Any additional comments?

I have shared this series with all of my friends, and we are all anxiously awaiting the next book.

Becoming an even better writer!

I really enjoyed the first couple of books in this series. But it is clear to me that there was a gap between those and this one. It is still an excellent story, but much better crafted to hold my intestinal, get me completely involved with the characters, and unable to guss what's coming next. I need to jump into the next one now!
