The Fire Opal by Regina McBride

McBride, Regina The Fire Opal, 292 pgs. Delacorte Press, 2010. Language - PG (1 swear, 0"f"), Sexual Content: G; Violence: G; Ever since Maeve's little sister died her mom hasn't been herself. Then Maeve's mom insists that Ishleen is coming back to them and is labeled as crazy. The night that the new Ishleen is born, two things happen: Maeve sees that it really is Ishleen and her mother becomes despondent. Maeve now has to face upand do things she couldn't ever have thought of, in order to get her mom back. I was sucked into all the action that comes up in this book. I didn't expect there to be as much action as there was. I also loved that Maeve had a weakness that brought trials and made her think in order to get out of them. MS, HS - ADVISABLE.
