Donita K Paul does it again!

The Vanishing Sculptor is part of the DragonKeepers series--a prequel...sorta :). It's written by Donita K. Paul. I really don't need to go any farther. The DragonKeepers series is one of my favorites EVER, and The Vanishing Sculptor is right up there with the rest of the books in the series. Awesome characterization, great action, wit, vocabulary building--her books have it all.

I love that this book takes place in a different time and country, but still has a couple of the old characters. I won't say who, but they brought a smile to my face!

Tipper's father, Verrin Schope, disappears one day. Tipper has to sell his artwork in order to make ends meet, but in doing so she inadvertantly puts her father in mortal danger. She and a rather interesting band of friends head off on a quest to save her father's life.

If you loved the DragonKeepers series, you will love this book. If you haven't read the series...do.

Another Masterpiece From Donita K. Paul!

The Vanishing Sculptor is one of the best books I've read in a while. I read her Dragon Keeper books, and this is a welcome addition to an already great series. I nearly cheered aloud when a certain wizard and his librarian came into the story, and laughed when they decided to take a detour to get riding dragons (prompted by the beloved wizard, of course). What a detour!
I won't go into the details, but let it be known that once you pick up this marvelous book, you won't be able to put it down!

Love The Vanishing Scupltor !

I Have read and own The Vanishing Sculptor, the first of a series still in the production stage. All of Donita K. Paul's books are simply amazing, filled with adventure, spirit and suprises. It has Christian faith, truth, and entices readers of all ages. I adored it, and continue to spend all my free time reading this!

Old characters take part in a new story

Tipper, a young emerlindian woman, has been scrounging to take care of her family estate since her father went missing. Since he father was a renowned sculptor, Tipper had no choice but to sell off his work to pay the bills. But her father returns suddenly, then vanishes again. Then he reappears, then vanishes, then reappears. It seems that Tipper's father is being affected by a portal between two sides of the world. Long ago, he had crafted three sculptures out of a special chunk of stone that happened to be the portal that held their world together. Now he must put the sculptures back to restore balance to the land and his own body. The only problem is that Tipper sold all three pieces. Tipper and her father set off with an unlikely group of friends to find the missing sculptures and restore balance.

This story inhabits the same world as Donita's DragonKeeper Chronicles and includes a few characters from the original series that we've all come to love. Donita K. Paul writes beautifully. I love her storyworld and the personalities she creates. She is truly gifted. I thought this story had an interesting premise. It was a fun read with a long quest (which I always love) and interesting obstacles that crop up to waylay our heroes. I didn't get as hooked into the tale as I'd hoped. I think that was because there were a lot of characters to follow. They were interesting, wonderful characters, but they often took the spotlight away from Tipper. Fans of Donita's work will love to see some old characters take part in the story. I'm not sure if this is meant to be the first book in a series or not. A few doors were left open to a sequel, so I'm interested to see what might happen in a second book. Recommended.

She went a different way

I had read the five book series she had written in a couple of months and couldn't wait for this one to come out. I guess I was still in sync with the other books, because this one took my a while to get connected. If you have read the series don't try to connect this to it as they don't intertwine at all really. All in all this is a good read and I did enjoy it when I quit trying to compare.

Donita K. Paul?s 250,000-plus-selling DragonKeeper Chronicles series has attracted a wide spectrum of dedicated fans?and they?re sure to fall in love with the new characters and adventures in her latest superbly-crafted novel for all ages. It?s a mind-boggling fantasy that inhabits the same world as the DragonKeeper Chronicles, but in a different country and an earlier time, where the people know little of Wulder and nothing of Paladin.

In The Vanishing Sculptor, readers will meet Tipper, a young emerlindian who?s responsible for the upkeep of her family?s estate during her sculptor father?s absence. Tipper soon discovers that her actions have unbalanced the whole foundation of her world, and she must act quickly to undo the calamitous threat. But how can she save her father and her world on her own? The task is too huge for one person, so she gathers the help of some unlikely companions?including the nearly five-foot tall parrot Beccaroon?and eventually witnesses the loving care and miraculous resources of Wulder. Through Tipper?s breathtaking story, readers will discover the beauty of knowing and serving God.
