Stories for children are a new realm for Untreed Reads, and we’re very glad to hear that Kathy K at Reviews by Ebook Addicts has fallen for our first release entitled The Diamond Tree written by Michael Matson. Here’s what Kathy had to say:

Even though this is touted as a children’s fantasy story I have to admit to falling in love with Michael Matson’s The Diamond Tree. His storytelling was magical but with an element of real life to it. Dall didn’t complete his quest in a matter of days or weeks, but rather it took years; I really enjoyed that facet of the story. Even as a child you know that really big things don’t happen overnight so it’s refreshing to read a story where important work takes time; wonderful!

While this is also labeled fantasy, to my mind it would be just as appropriate to call it a fairy tale, but a more modern version. But whatever you would call this story, I call it fabulous! And it’s a story that I will enjoy sharing again and again with the children in my life. All I can say is thank heavens that kids love going over favorite stories again and again; it gives me a chance to return over and over to Dall’s adventures with nary a wince… after all I’m reading it to the kids. *grin*

About The Diamond Tree:

Dall is eager to prove himself a worthy prince, but what do you do when your older brothers have already slain every dragon and rescued all the princesses? You heed the advice of an old woman and set off on a quest! When Dall starts finding diamonds along the way, he discovers his quest may have a more unique ending than he had planned. Ages 6-12 and great for parents to read with their children.
