Booktopia review:
A maid with a plan.
A squire with a secret.
A missing jewel.
A kingdom in turmoil.
Maven and Reeve have three days to solve the mystery of the Fire Star. If they don’t, they’ll lose everything.
This could be a complete disaster . . . or the beginning of a friendship.

My review: Maven is the lady in waiting to a princess betrothed to a knight she has never met before. As part of her dowry, she brings with her a precious jewel called the Fire Star. On the eve of the wedding, the Fire Star disappears. Maven and a newly anointed squire called Reeve ( they are both about 15 years old) must work together to find it before the wedding goes ahead. But what is really going on? Is it ordinary theft or perhaps an inside job?
Nice medieval mstery romp with likeable characters and an easy to work out plot. (I solved the mystery very early in the piece and kept waiting for the characters to catch up!) One for girls who like their heroines feisty and cut outside the typical medieval maiden mould. ( )
