A Whale of an Adventure Nov 11, 2008
By Johall
"reader/writer"
Jofi: Star Seeker is a swift-moving allegorical adventure that sweeps three typical young teenagers, with the everyday angst all teens suffer, into a time-warped fantasy world of terror, suspense and transforming experiences.
Children will readily identify with this realistic trio. Pudgy 13-year-old Teddy and the twins, combative Linc and sensible Liz, are plucked from their present placid though somewhat troubled existence and plunged into one life and death situation after another along with the dedicated Jofi the Star Seeker bent on his spiritual mission. The book is replete with all the nitty-gritty exciting details kids relish.
It is a whale of a tale both children and adults can enjoy and profit from. My whole family is anxiously awaiting Book Two of Ellen McKinsey's Star Seeker Series.

Excellent and Parents need not worry about the content Oct 19, 2008
By Cynthia R. Fellows
A fast paced book that will keep not only a child but an adult glued to the adventures of three 13 year olds as they travel through time and different worlds. The books are based on a fantasy world that cleaverly uses symbols taken from christianity in a way that a child will not necessarily recognize their significance and think that they are only characters or events in the fantasy adventure. The book emphasises good against evil and hope even in the most desperate situations. I highly recommend it to any parent who is looking for literature that their child will love to read and be confortable in knowing that Jofi Star Seeker will have a positive influence on their child.
Jofi: a Star of a Book Sep 23, 2010
By Pandorasecho
"Dixie"
Jofi: Star seeker is a fantasy for children in the middle grades and higher. Adults will enjoy the twists and turns of this fast paced adventure as well. The three teenagers in the story are real and interesting and their adventure is out of this world. Although the adventure originates in the traditions of the Jewish and Christian faith, the story is a surprisingly fun story for anyone who likes a good fantasy. There is a complexity to the story which may need an adult to interact with a younger reader as questions come up, but nothing that a parent would object to their child hearing.
A Whale of a Fish Story Jan 16, 2009
By Paula A. Molina
This highly imaginative fantasy tale of a big fish and the three teenagers who love him, is packed with adventure, suspense and vivid characterization. Originally intended for the tween to early teen audience, it also offers the adult reader a glimpse into the mysterious world between make-belief and reality that so greatly appeals to young readers. This book does not imitate Harry Potter or other current magic-
laden stories, but rather uses the realm of fantasy to unveil hidden truths about real life and the challenges of overcoming life's obstacles.
A great first book of a series.
Great Fantasy/Adventure Jan 11, 2009
By Helen O. Dixon
Jofi is an exciting, fast paced fantasy/adventure with a compelling difference between good and evil. It teaches we have choices to make and sometimes we stumble but there is help and unmeasurable love, if we choose to accept good over evil. A must to read and reread to get the full impact.
