Hi, I first read this book two years ago when I was 12 and loved it then. When I read it again, I found that I still loved it. This is book that I highly recommend. It is an exiting and well written book that introduces the reader to celtic lore through the eyes of Maeve O'Conner. If you enjoy this book as much as I have then I recomend it's prequel, THE WOLVES OF WODEN, wich is an exiting an well written book as well that tells the story of Maeve's grandmother Jean's adventure into celtic lore during world war 2. I personaly prefer THE HIDDEN WORLD. I hope that this review was helpful.

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. The way Baird seamlessly integrates present-day Newfoundland with Avalon is simply stunning. The prose flows along wonderfully, and the story is great. I definitely recommend this book!

Every so often, and not often enough, you read a book and know it was something truly special. Hidden World is such a book. Strongly written, with characters so real they'll haunt you, and descriptions that whisk you to marvelous lands both imagined and real, this book immediately made me feel as though I'd been the first person to discover Narnia. Don't be fooled by the Y/A location in some stores. This book is accessible to teen readers, but a sophisticated older reader of fantasy will thoroughly enjoy it. There is an amazing depth and detail to Hidden World. It could have easily been twice as long, but Baird's crisp, clear writing whirls readers into her magical realms without a wasted word or moment. If you want to be part of something wonderful in fantasy, if you want say you were one of the first to find the next "must-read" in the genre, try Hidden World.
