Shannon Hale writes excellent children???s fantasy. River Secrets is the third book in her BAYERN series. It follows The Goose Girl and Enna Burning and focuses on one of readers??? (and the author???s) favorite characters from these books, Razo of the forest.
In the previous books, Razo???s friend Isi, who has wind magic, became queen of Bayern and his friend Enna, who has fire magic, helped Bayern win a battle with Tira. Now Bayern and Tira are swapping ambassadors and opening diplomatic relations. The people of Bayern are not popular in Tira because of what Enna, the fire mage, did to their army. Enna isn???t happy about her role in the battle, either, so she asks to go to Tira with the ambassador, hoping to redeem herself by doing something constructive instead of destructive with her magic.

The one and only not sad book from the Books of Bayern series. I really love the silly character moments...basically, Razo, I love Razo. The story is charming, and the character development for pretty much everyone is spectacular.
