The Chosen: Book One: The Orb Quest Series
By Cari Shaeffer
This was a fun, adventurous, full of action story. I enjoyed the characters and how even though they are teenagers this book can be read by everyone. The author did an awesome job drawing me into the story and keeping me entertained. This book did a good job setting up for the next one in the series and I can’t wait to read it. I can’t say that I really have a favorite of the four yet but I’m sure as I get to know them better its bound to happen. I recommend this book it was definitely a good read the kind that once you start it’s hard to put down.
The Chosen by Cari Schaeffer is the first book in the Orb Quest series. This is a great start to a series and has me wanting to read more. Gemma is a high school student, who with some of her friends find out they are different from others. This book has something for everyone, mystery, fantasy, action, and friendship. I enjoyed Gemma and her friends. They are normal but special at the same time. They have typical high school problems but also some unusual challenges.
This is a book that I didn’t want to put down and had to finish in one go. I look forward to reading more in this entertaining series soon.

Four Stars
The weight of the world is on four teenagers shoulders. Chosen to find the orbs and save the world. Can you imagine at 17 having to fight a battle you were predestined to fight? The amount of growth it took these kids to put away childish things and become heroes. The author did a great job keeping them kids while they faced this evil journey. Though they matured they still had teenager moments. Allie had to be my favorite at moments she was real and predictable. Gemma was harder to figure out. I’m still holding out judgment for the guys. In the story the author gives you a taste of what this series could evolve into. The possibilities are endless. I’m excited to see where the author leads us on this mystical adventure.

This was a great book. I loved the adventure, and the action in the story. The characters were amazing. I really loved Gemma. Her quest with her friends to find the orbs is so much fun. I loved the world in which we are taken – it makes you want to delve deeper to see what else you will find!
