Tally and the Angel: Book Two, Canada by Eleanor Dixon – Review by

I thought that the first book in this series was good, but book two is even better!! What an amazing adventure that awaits Tally in Canada where her father moves to become a much needed doctor for the area. However, things are not quite right and Tally soon learns about a curse that she must try to break. There is a lot riding on Tally to defeat the curse considering she might not get to see her dad again if she does not. This book had me on the edge of my seat as Tally met one challenge after another with the wolves and other super natural beings. This is a great series and I am happy to being reading book three soon to see what other adventures await Tally next!

Not many series get better as you continue, but this is definitely one of them! I would recommend picking up the first book in order to follow along well and get the best experience. Tally has gone through so much in her life already, but her angel Jophiel has helped her through it. Now she must lean on him again in order to get back to her father. This story flows just as amazingly as the first one did! Eleanor Dixon has become an author to watch for sure, and she’s already one of my daughter’s absolute favorites. Even if the synopsis doesn’t sound like something you would enjoy, I’m telling you…it will catch you off-guard! Highly recommend this book and this series. Onward to book number three!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eleanor Dixon continues Tally’s adventures by juxtapositioning her second journey from hot and sticky India to bitterly cold Canada. Tally masters sled dog (mushing), the cold, and missing her friends as she tries to save loved ones from angry gods.

Along the way, the friendships Tally makes in this book are less profound than her two besties in India, but the cast of characters is more unique- from invisible cursed people to a beloved dog. The use of Innuit words as a sparkle of local flavor as well as the vivid descriptions of the cold climate, as well as Eleanor described the hot stickiness of India in book one. In this book, I felt Tally had to become more brave because she encountered more foreign things than in book 1.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I do believe this is my favorite book of the series. I also recommend reading them in order although the author does a good job of catching the reader up to speed on how Jophiel came to be.

Tally and her dad have had their adventure in India and now it’s time to move on to Canada. They are in need of a doctor up there and since Tally’s dad is a doctor, they make the trek there. While there, Tally is excited to learn how to run a sled dog team. As a matter of fact, on the first day there, she gets to drive them for a small bit! Tally’s struggling to adjust to the massive temperature differences between India and Canada too. Here she can’t see anything but eyeballs on the people she meets!

There’s this man named Earl and his daugther Amka who come to take Tally and her dad to the place where they will stay. Something is pretty sinister about Earl, at least to Tally and Jophiel. Then Tally learns about a curse and the Gold Rush and things, well, just aren’t as they seem.

This book was so much fun to read and as previously mentioned, is my favorite in this series. There is a lot of mystery in this one, as well as adventure. This is a middle school level book but I thoroughly enjoyed it as a middle ager!

Canada (Tally and the Angel #2)Canada by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Book two of Tally and the Angel they are off to Canada to continue the adventures her and her sidekick, Jophiel, started in book one. In the first book Tally met an angel named Jophiel who was contained in a necklace that she inherited. This book is geared towards pre-teens, in the 9-13 years of age category, but is a fun read for all ages.

In her latest adventure Tally finds herself in Whitehorse where the temperatures are at minus 25 degrees centigrade. Her dad has booked them a holiday at a retreat where they can learn how to cross the tundra with a team of sled dogs. Tally immediately notices how cold it is when her nose hairs freeze up so Tally and her dad have to learn to dress for the weather. This requires layering up on their clothing in order to stay warm. They then set off across the snowy tundra in search of adventure but get more than they bargained for when Tally’s dad is injured.

He is taken to a small, remote village to heal where the villagers do not leave because of an ancient curse. Tally’s dad is now in imminent danger and only Tally and Jophiel can save him by battling against Both earthbound and mythical creatures like gold hunters and mystical wolves. Tally is in a life-or-death situation as races against time to save her dad and rid the village of the ancient curse.

This book was wonderfully written with a great storyline, descriptive scenes, and amazing characters. The scenes were described so vividly that it immerses you into that place. Right down to describing frozen nose hairs with the cold temperatures. I understand completely how that feels because I live in a part of Canada where temperatures can sometimes get to minus forty degrees centigrade over the winter months. What a shock it must have been for Tally to go from India to the Yukon, yikes! The author did a fantastic job of describing the climate, the Yukon, and sled dogs. Tally and Jophiel both really grow as characters and the bond between them starts to forge as they spend more time together. Tally learns to be courageous in the face of danger in order to save her dad. This book was full of danger, suspense, mystery, action, and adventure as Tally went up against both real and mythical beings. A great read for all ages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Highly recommend for a fun, adventurous read! A fun middle school novel!

4.5 stars rounded up.

This novel likely car be read by advanced readers in 5th grade or anyone in middle school. I know there were some words I needed to look up, which I enjoy. This novel does reference some of the people Tally met while in India, book 1 in the series, but Canada holds up on its own as a stand alone.

Here, Tally’s dad is so proud of her for her strength and job well done since arriving in India that he takes her on a trip to the Yukon in Canada. Talk about one extreme temperature to another!

I really enjoyed the small tidbits of real world things that are talked about in the beginning, (nose hairs freezing anyone?!) and how life differs when you’re somewhere that gets so cold. I enjoyed meeting the new supporting cast, Mar, Earl, Amka, etc. and who could forget about the sled dogs!

Of course this wouldn’t be an adventurer novel without an adventure (besides the setting of middle of nowhere, Yukon, Canada). Here, Tally must help people in a local village to figure out a riddle/mystery. We see more of Jophiel, the Angel, and his influence on Tally, as well as imparting life lessons. There is some mysticism that occurs, which as a fantasy reader I thoroughly enjoyed.

I highly recommend this novel for fun and adventure.

What a great book to share with young family members. I loved reading this with my grandson. He loved it as much as the first book.

The places described in the book create a great picture in your mind. What a great series for all ages! We enjoyed reading this book during family time. I would suggest reading the first book before this one.

Not exactly the story I thought I was getting when reading the book synopsis, but it turned out to be a great book! The villagers and their story liking with the story of the angel was a great touch. Tally is very adventurous, saving Jak and going through everything to keep her and her father together. While reading you almost forget this story takes place in modern day, with the description of the village and how they all lived. Dog sledding through the North Yukon near old gold mines, fighting off wolves, and saving a village are great adventures for a 13-year-old travelling with her father around the world. Here’s hoping for book 3!

The Tally and the Angel series is a middle-grade children’s fantasy series that even adults will enjoy! I was so excited to get my hands on this second book in the series and it did not disappoint me in any way!
I loved how the author wrote the first book and couldn’t wait to find out what the next adventure would be! Tally is a curious young girl and with the help of her angel, she has the strength and courage to have a lot more adventures in book 2 which is set in the Yukon in Canada!
Even though the character is a younger age I really have enjoyed this series as an adult! The adventure that is told and the detail about the location the book takes place helps even me to be right there in the story with the character! I learned so much about the Yukon that no history book would have told me in school!
I would highly recommend this book, and this series, to anyone who enjoys reading books about adventure. I would also recommend it to any parents looking for a clean fun middle-grade chapter book series they can read alongside their child! Both adult and child alike will love this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tally and the Angel is an enchanting children’s fantasy series, and this is the second book which is set primarily in the Yukon. It is appropriate for confident readers in KS2, and KS3. It’s also an enjoyable read for adults, and would be a fun story to read out loud! There is some violence and suspense – as the summary suggests, Tally’s dad is in danger for part of the book. So parents of more sensitive or younger children might want to read the book first and prepare discussions. But Tally is a brave heroine and there are caring characters around her who help her to face her challenges!
I loved the setting of this book. I’ve been to the Yukon, so it brought back loads of happy memories! There are dog sleds and snow and tales of the Gold Rush and lots and lots of warm layers! Tally and her dad are both up for an adventure and so get to explore some stunning scenery.
This book has plenty of mystery and intrigue, to keep readers engaged. We learn more about Jophiel the angel, and encounter more ancient magic.
This book gets five stars from me. I’d recommend it to young readers who enjoy exploring new places in books, and stories with magic and angels.

If you are looking for a great young adult or children’s book to read this is the story for you. This is the second book in this amazing series. This book started off where the first book ended. I was so excited to see where the next adventure would be and Canada was the perfect place to go. I learned a lot about the culture of Canada that I didn’t know in the beginning. My son read it with me and he can’t wait to see where Tally and her Angel goes next.

Tally gets into predicaments that she has to find her way out of. Its like she cant catch a break but she is very strong and with the help of her angel she can do anything. I cant wait for for the next one to come out.

I really enjoyed this story. The story was dynamic and full of twists and turns. A daughter and father are off travelling to ease the pain of losing their mother and wife. They go on an adventure that begins in India where her father works as a doctor to help the locals. Once his contract is done in India they are off for a vacation in the very cold Yukon. The story revolves around the bond between father and daughter and the strength it takes to be brave in the face of fear and the unknown. A guiding grace helps on this amazing journey.

Tally returns in her second adventure fresh from her first and this time, she is travelling to Canada with her dad, they are going to have a holiday after all their hard work, so he has booked them onto a holiday at a retreat in the Yukon where they can learn how to husky sled across the snowy tundra. First impressions are as Tally expected and that it is cold, but she never knew that there were so many shades of white in the world and is amazed as she learns more about the husky’s and how to sled. Meanwhile, Jophiel senses something which makes him feel uneasy as they are traveling, but cannot remember why, so he looks out for Tally as much as he can, but someone at the camp is a little bit odd and it is not helpful, especially when their help turns out to be a hindrance.

One day while they are out, Tally’s dad is hurt and is taken to a village to recover, however, it is not a village like any other, it has been cursed, but not everyone wants the curse to be lifted. There are those within the village which will happily stay as they are for the gold which they have access to, but that isn’t the only challenge which Tally and Jophiel face as his unease grows with each step closer they get to the reason for the curse, but when they come face to face with dangerous creatures, both earthbound and mythical will Jophiel be able to face his fears and help Tally to defeat them, or is this where there adventures come to an end?

This is a fast paced fantasy adventure of one girl, her angel and a battle against forces which may be their undoing, with action, adventure and suspense, this is a story you will want to follow through to the end and you will not want to miss out on.

Such a great story! Following Tally and Jophiel from book 1 in India and now book 2 the next adventure is in the Yukon in Canada. I loved how the Tally and her dad become “mushers” and learn a new experience. When they trek on their own after learning the ropes of dog sledding, they seem to become lost and are in a village that is “cursed”. When Tally’s dad is hurt, she needs to find a way to get her dad to a doctor for treatment while trying to help break this curse that the village has. I love Tally’s character as she is curious but brave. Mystery, intrigue, gold hungry characters, mythical beings and just quite an adventure all wrapped into a great read! I cannot wait to book 3!!

This book was even more amazing then the first. We once again follow our main character Tally but this time we’re following her and her angel on a race against time in Canada. Once again full of drama, this one has so much more then the first book including ancient curses, gold hunters, and beautiful mystical wolves. While this story could be read as a standalone I highly recommend you read the first book in this series to get the back story as to who Tally is and how she came to possess her angel. This book like the previous one had me gripped from the beginning and I just simply could not put it down.

In this story Tally and Jophiel and her dad are off on an adventure to Canada to learn dog sledding but along there travel they come across a village. But certain circumstances lead them back to the cursed village where her dad falls under the curse as well. Now Tally and Jophiel are trying to save her dad and break the curse before it’s to late. I highly recommend reading this book to find put what happens next. I look forward to sharing this book over the holidays with my neices and nephew’s. They love stories like this one.

A lovely follow-up adventure to Book 1. Tally must use her intellect and courage to survive the challenges in front of her to save the day. The remote Yukon town is tainted with a century-old curse that Tally must unravel and contend with. Lots of exciting twists and turns in this story to keep readers on their toes. Tally is a great heroine, brave but vulnerable, and I enjoyed jumping back into her world. A nice family story for adventure lovers of all ages.

Tally and the Angel is a cute and inspiring story with mystery, friendship, life lessons and some fantasy thrown in. It’s a great story that any young reader would enjoy. Tally is such a sweet girl who has just had a heartbreaking experience and now has to adjust to her new life, she shows such bravery and strength as she tries to solve the mystery in India with her angel. I enjoyed learning more about Jophiel and watching his and Tally’s friendship grow. I loved how even an ancient being like Jophiel could learn and be inspired by a young girl who only wants to do what’s right which is sometimes not always easy to do or understand.

I had highly enjoyed the first one in the series, I loved this one as much as the first. This time we find Tally and her Angel friend on another adventure. Different place for the adventure this time, in Canada. It was defiantly a different scenery compared to the first book, but the story was as compelling as the original

. I loved the adventure Tally and her Angel faced in this one. Danger and they both had to rely on their hearts they withheld as well as themselves to save the day. I love how the author strongly shows how we can achieve anything, even if it seems impossible, we need only believe in ourselves and trust ourselves. Even if the world seems against you, you can achieve anything! The story is once again beautifully written, and a must rea for children of all ages, highly recommend for sure!

Trying to hide the whole event and what was really happening, tally found out some very interesting secrets to this little hidden away place. Tally had to rescue her dad and hopefully make it back ok. This short quick read was amazing. It kept me wanting to read more and I couldn’t put it down. Tally is such a strong-willed girl and really likes to learn new things and takes charge to solve problems.

What a wonderful follow up to the first book in this young adult book series. Personally, I liked this one more than the previous one. I love how both books take you on an adventure to a different country. The first one was India, but this one is Canada. I’ve never been to either country but always wanted to go to Canada, so this was a great way to travel there without leaving my home. As with the previous book, the author does a fantastic job with her description that you do feel like you are there on the journey with the characters. And I don’t mean just any journey, but one filled with a lot of danger. I loved it. The one thing that I will recommend is that you read the books to understand the characters and how the magic was obtained.

This is the second book in the series and it continues the adventure of Tally and her angel. It is a great book for young adults. The story is full of adventure as Tally and her father travel the world. Every place they go they uncover secrets and with the help of Tally’s angel Jophiel. Now they are in for a race against time in Canada. The fantasy adventure includes ancient curses, gold hunters and mystical wolves. This book is definately a great family adventure and I do recommend you read the first book as this gives you the back story of Tally and how she came to be in possession of Jophiel.
This story kept me gripped from the beginning. Tally is a very strong and determined young girl who makes friends where ever she goes which is nice to read. As she travels to different countries she fully immerses herself and the reader into the culture.
