" -Readers' Favorite "In A Home Called Haven: The Lower World, the author has given us so many wonderful characters and she has given each one a voice that is special to them. It is superbly written and will stir up so many memories for adults from their own childhood and what they wanted it to be while giving children an exciting journey into a magical world that they will dream about wanting to visit. In addition, the story is an excellent teaching experience for children to learn about how important it is to accept others for what they are and that it is more than okay to be different. This is an absolutely spell-binding adventure for the reader and for the characters and it should not be missed. I cannot wait to see what the next adventure will be for Fox and Otter and Amma and I know you will all feel the same way." - Reader Views Kids What happens when two misfit children are sent to live with a mischievous and mysterious woman in her magical cabin in the woods?
