A universial is compainon to all creatures were normal compaions only have one. Connie the Society soon relizes is the Universial. Her aunt and many others including her friend Col are in some thing called the Society which people are told is an group for perserving the enviorment, but is actual the secrt society for compainions to mythical creatures. In the book a girl named connie comes to live with her aunt who is a little bit odd. Secret of the sirens is the first in the compainions quartet. This is a book where people stare out windows and wonder what the heck is going on. Generally written in an older style it's at a whopping AR 6.6 reading level (mid sixth-grade reading level) with 14.0 points.Īnd given that reading level and the fact that there is not a flow of constant action, that many readers are used to having, I'd say this book is going to appeal to younger readers who are patient and willing to let the story take it's time as it unfolds. That said, I wouldn't give this book more than 4-Stars as I found it slow to start. But then again I've been reading for decades and decades, and to a more nascent reader this fantasy is going to be just right. I know that I could certainly foretell what was apt to happen in the next few chapters. It's simply not got a plot line nor characters that are going to engage our jaded 'been there, done that' tastes. By which I mean the SECRET OF THE SIRENS is a book I would NOT suggest for adults to pick up as a read for themselves. There are middle-grade books and there are middle-grade books.
