Ray's Violet is a wonderful page turner, free to allow the imagination to flow. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book even as an adult. It reminded me of my childhood; summer nights spent catching fireflies on my grandparents farm. How I missed those days. My daughter certainly loved the book as one of the character's, Violet, created a little mischief here and there. The creative ideas Violet came up with to help Ray and his family was interesting, yet very inventive. I do hope to read more adventures of Ray and Violet in the future.

This story captures the heart of the type of adventure I wanted as a child. I wanted to find a magical creature that was my special friend and looked out for me. The boy in the story, Ray, found a true friend in his mysterious and magical Violet. I hope there are more adventures for Violet!

This book is not only a great read for a children but it will overwhelm those that grew up in the 1980's with nostalgia.

This little story had friendship and magic and love. I would guess it to be about 4th or 5th grade level, but I loved it myself. So did my grandson.
