The Peerless Seer is a most enchanting children's tale written by B.S. Gibbs. Emaleen is an 11-year-old girl, living with her aunt and uncle in a small town. Her best friend, Skye, lives nearby and the girls have a close bond and spend a lot of time exploring the lakes and woods. One day, during an outing to the lake with Skye, something strange happens to Emaleen. She is mystified by this, as is Skye. She tells her aunt about it when she gets home. Her aunt then explains to Emaleen that she is a seer and has mystical powers which are beginning to emerge, and it is time to start training her in the correct usage of these powers. So begins the story of Emaleen.
This is a most intriguing and charming tale by B.S. Gibbs. In The Peerless Seer, we delve into a mystical world of magic and fantasy. An interesting theme for a series of novels, which promises to fascinate both young and old alike. The foundations of the story are clearly and cleverly laid out in this first novel, and promise to be even more interesting as the series progresses. The Peerless Seer also contains moral elements that are important to teach our children, such as responsibility, kindness, and empathy towards all people and living creatures. This message comes through very clearly from the wise teachings of Aunt Zeraida. I loved the book and the uniqueness of the story and look forward to future novels. Further adventures will certainly be interesting as there are several books still to be published in this series. I am sure that Emaleen is going to become a firm favorite with youngsters!
