Tally and the Angel, The Sands of Time (Tally and the Angel Series) by Eleanor Dixon – Review by Crystal Brehant
Tally and the Angel, The Sands of Time: Thrilling Middle Grade fantasy adventure where Greek Myths come alive! by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the fourth book in this series. It happened to be the first book I picked up. I love Greek Mythology and this book came across to read so I figure I would give it a shot. I do think that for the most part, there is enough retelling of the back story so that you are not lost while reading. You can understand what is going on. I do believe it would be better to have read the previous books in my opinion.
With that being said, I really enjoyed this book. It was a perfect middle grade story. I liked it enough to want to read the first three in the series. This time, reading with my 7 year old. I think he would really enjoy this series. If your child is a fan of Greek Mythology, I suggest getting it for them. From what I have read about the other books, they deal with other mythologies.
I love Tally, the main character. I think she was very well written. I love the adventure and drama included in this story. As well as the decisions that Tally has to make and how she handles them. While the story is based in mythology, the feelings are very real and I think kids will relate to them in a way.
