 | The Time Crystal  [E] Izzy must learn how to restore the forest's fading magic. Word Count: 650  |
| Dear Krista, "The Time Crystal" is a heartwarming addition to the series of Izzy's adventures in Rosewood Forest. In this charming short story, you have once again successfully captured the essence of childhood wonder and the magic of nature. The storytelling is engaging, and the pacing is well-suited for young readers, making it a delightful and age-appropriate read. One of the standout aspects of the story is how you introduce the theme of environmental conservation. By highlighting the fading magic of the forest due to the missing Time Crystals, this cleverly imparts the importance of preserving nature to young readers. It's a valuable lesson woven into the narrative, teaching children about the significance of caring for the environment. The use of the wise old owl and his riddles as a guide for Izzy's quest is a brilliant choice. It not only adds a sense of mystery and adventure to the story but also encourages young readers to embrace challenges and develop their problem-solving skills. The riddles engage children's intellect and curiosity, making them an integral part of the story's appeal. The characters, particularly Izzy and her animal friends, continue to shine in this storytelling. These characters are relatable and well-developed, and their camaraderie reinforces the story's theme of friendship and teamwork. The encounter with the fox introduces a moment of suspense and conflict, which helps children understand the importance of courage and protecting what is valuable. The resolution of the story, where Izzy and her friends successfully retrieve the Time Crystal and restore the forest's magic, is heartwarming and underlines the message that young adventurers can make a significant impact in their environment. It's a positive and empowering conclusion that leaves young readers with a sense of accomplishment. I have found vivid descriptions and imagery throughout the story that create a visually rich world for readers to explore. The writing style is child-friendly and captivating, allowing young readers to easily connect with the narrative. In summary, this story is a testament to your storytelling skills, delivering a delightful and thought-provoking story for young audiences. It effectively imparts important values like environmental conservation, problem-solving, and power of friendship. The well-crafted characters make for great, imaginative children's literature, and encourages readers to explore the wonders of nature. You have done a commendable job in creating a magical world for Izzy's adventures, and this story is a cherished addition to the series. Sincerely, Brian WDC Angel Army Reviewer      My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
