spirit: stallion of the cimmaron
Great book and easy for kids to read. No nightmares here! Good story line where the good guys win and the ending will not disappoint the little ones...or the readers. This is a Tale with a meaning behind it and lessons to learn while providing action and a love story suitable for young readers. It Encouraged my kids to inquire about history and initiated a great teaching and learning opportunity for all of us. I Cannot recommend this book enough. It's a favorite in my family--the movie and the soundtrack are even better. The kids loved the movie and the soundtrack is easy listening for us too.

Fire Bringer
"Fire Bringer is a riveting story and deserves to be widely read..." These were the words of the author of the infamous Watership Down. I do not believe that they do this book justice.
Fire Bringer is the story of Rannoch, a young deer born to fulfill a destiny that he desperately tries to escape. He is the fawn born with an oak leaf birthmark on his forehead, the fawn destined to lead his kind (the Herla- -deer) out of the tyranny of their evil ruler, Sgorr. This book is a deep novel that manages to make acute, yet general ties to religion and compels you to the end. However, David Clement-Davis' writing style is crisp and imaginative- -it does not weigh the reader down so that they feel exhausted when finished reading. Instead, it makes them feel refreshed, and even awed, by the exquisite brilliance of this book.
I couldn't put Fire Bringer down- -it is packed with adventure, prophecies, action, myth, anthropomorphic genius, and even a hint of romance (though it is difficult to do so with deer, making Clement-Davis' writing all the more impressive). I highly suggest it to anyone in search of a good read. Like it or not, it will hold you to the very end- -for example, I loved the charm and dark foreboding of the beginning part, and was slightly disappointed to lose it as I moved on to Rannoch's more mature adulthood. However, I found the part one's light foreshadowing was only building up to a greater, more fantastical destiny. I was kept on the edge of my seat, and, despite age or genre preference, I'm sure it will keep anybody else lucky and smart enough to read it there, too.
I would also recommend David Clement-Davis' other, daker masterpiece, The Sight, to anybody who liked Fire Bringer. It centers, however, on wolves...

The Sight
The Sight is about a wolf pack in the land of Transylvania. The Drappa (Alpha Female)and the Dragga (Alpha Male) and their pack are called the Lera. The lera means Wild Animal. The Drappa has pups. Two die. Morgra, a power-thirsty she-wolf is the half-sister to the Drappa. Morgra will stop at nothing to posses the legend known as the Sight. The Sight gives the wolf who posses it the power to look in the past, future, through the Lera. (The birds) It also has a powerful ability, to control others minds. Morgra and the Wolf Pack goes against the other. Before Morgra disappears, only to return again, she puts a curse on the pack. One by one, the pack is taken down by the makers of life. Known as the five elements of nature, Earth, Wind, Water, Ice, and Fire. The enemy of the wolves are also involved in this story, Men. The Wolf-Devil, Wolfbane, also test the pack's faith in each other. The book ends in a explosive way. You'll have to get the book and see what happens next. This book is not recommened for youngesters. Ages 12 and up. I really enjoyed "The Spirit". I was practically hooked on this book the second I started it. I recommend that you have to read this book if you like fantasy and wolf packs.

Great book for wolf-lovers
This book is great!
The sight is a power to look through birds eyes and to look into the water and see past, present, and furture, even to heal the mind.I wouldn't call the book nice through the story because there is a lot of dying and killing in it but that's what makes the book good. Its a story about a wolf pack and the alpha female(Drappa) gives birth to cubs.(4 but 2 die)Her evil sister Morgra(who has the sight) knows one of her cubs have even a more powerful sight and needs to get to her(Larka the cub with the sight) but the loving family will do anything to pertect Larka. I would get this book if you are reading this review right now. I will tell you it did make me cry a few times (im sensitive though:'() Hope this was helpful to you! ...

Best Book EVER!!!
If you haven't read 'The Sight' yet, I don't know why you aren't reading it right now! It is the best book I ever layed eyes on and I'm only half way through it! It is all about a wolf pack on a journey of survival, you see, the Dragga and Drappa (pack leaders) have cubs and one is a white wolf called Larka and she has the sight. The sight is a wolf ledgend that allows you to see through birds eyes, see far off realities in the water and even controll others' minds! When Morgra (an evil she-wolf) puts a curse on the pack, they all start dying and the pack fears it is because of the curse, and the sight! They run away and all get separated and Larka leaves the pack because she thinks if she is not with them, the curse cannot harm them! Then, Larka finds this human child, (which is all part of the ledgend)and that's all I've read so far! He he he... just look at the other reviews to find out more! It is really good and I couldn't put it down! Ok, bye, I'm off to read The Sight!

The best animal fantasy since Watership Down....
The Herla (deer) live a simple and traditional life in ancient Scotia. That is until Drail, with his evil right hand man Sgorr (who is literarily the brains behind the operation) strip the Herla of all the traditions they have. They get rid of Anlach, the competition that finds out who will be the leader of the Herla each year, and then brutally murder all the Outriders, including captain Brechin. On that very night Brechin's mate, Eloin has a young male fawn named Rannoch. But even Rannoch's first night his life is filled with tragedy when they discover that he was meant to fulfill an ancient prophesy. To prevent him from being murdered, Rannoch much become a changeling. And as he grows he faces challenge after challenge, surviving only with the help of friends. But what will happen when he's forced to make his final stand by himself. Read this book to fund out.

Once I saw that the author of the amazing Watership Down had recommended this book, I knew I had to buy it. I've always been a fan of animal fantasy and this one is one of the best I've ever read. Rannoch's story is moving and exciting, there's rarely a dull moment in this book. The characters almost have human-like quality while staying true to the way of the deer. I'm defiantly going to pick up the second novel by this fine author, The Sight. I recommend this book to fans of animal fantasy, or just animal lovers in general.

The best Book Ever
Have you ever wondered about what it's like to be a deer? Well in Fire Bringer you find out that being a deer is not so easy. "In a dark and troubled time, a prophecy is about to come true..." This is a book about the life of a young deer named Rannoch. He is born with a fawn mark shaped as an oak leaf, which can only mean the prophecy... Are the gods awakened? Now evil forces of deer are gathering for war and there can't be any good ahead.
Fire Bringer is a story of war, friendship, survival, and a young deer's adventure to escape death. During the whole book, I could not wait to flip to the last page and find out the mystery behind all the war, Sgorr's terrible secret, and especially the forbidden prophecy. This is a book of suspense and action.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes action and personification. Fire Bringer is the kind of book you will read under the covers late at night and you won't be able put it down. Fire Bringer is the best book that I've ever read, and the most suspenseful book too. It has touched me deep inside, and will definitely do the same for others.

A book of destiny, fate, and courage not to be missed
There is a prophecy amongst the Red Deer - one that speaks of a deer who will be born with the mark of an oak leaf, and who will do wondrous things for his people. In the time of Drail this prophecy has become even more important for the deer - as Drail is cruel and changes the way of life for the entire herd. On the night of his fathers death a fawn is born who wears the mark of the prophecy. Rannoch will be on the run for most of his life - but he has a prophecy to fulfill and one day he must return to his people to take what is wrong and make it right.

This book just blew me away. This book is one of the few books that reaches out to teenagers and adults alike and blows their minds. I read this book in one day because I could not bear the thought of having to put it down and leave the characters behind. It is both a well written book and a powerful story - both elements combine to make this one of the best fantasy novels that I have read in the past six months. I would easily compare this book to some of those by Mercedes Lackey or Tamora Pierce.

This story has it all - a hero who is totally "human" and who has no idea of the great future that awaits him, a prophecy of a saviour from an oppressive ruler, villains that make you want to take them down, and good guys that you cheer for. This is a novel on a grand scale that will not soon be forgotten.
