Laurel's Quest (The Cornwall Adventures Book 1) by Nancy M. Bell is a captivating tale of a young girl's journey against all odds to save her mother, and the devotion of her friends in helping her in her quest. Laurel's Quest is full of fun and interesting characters. Nancy M. Bell weaves vivid descriptions of the historical locations the group visits and the mystical creatures that they meet. I enjoyed the banter between the characters as they joked about the differing language between their British and American upbringing.
