The Tolemac Chronicles
Once in a while comes a tale of heroism that lifts you out of the mundane and into the magical worlds beyond. Such are the Tolemac Chronicles and the adventures of Viviane.
In this epic multi-book series, follow as Viviane embarks upon her journey as a shy schoolgirl doing her best to fit in and make friends at High School. We see her struggles with that, both in her inner world and the outer world, and we watch as what she comes to realise is that life can be very cruel when the kids around you decide that they don’t like you.
Refusing to accept their label, Viviane goes her own way. In the back of her mind she hears the siren call and simply cannot resist being drawn towards a world and a way of life that is very different to the one that most people live in. It promises much, but change is scary, and it is always so much easier to stay in your familiar way of life. Her best friend Glenda, who has also heard the siren call, provides the love and support that she misses so much in other parts of her life, and her cat Cinnamon is the friend that she needs at home.
Viviane and Glenda discover that they are not alone: they meet some kindred spirits who are drawn to the same path as them but who are much, much further along it than they are. They help the girls to see things more clearly and show them the way, but they are still reluctant to take the path that will lead them out of this world and into that of their new mentors. A new friend Vicky joins the team and takes part in the same journey that they are now on.
When the girls finally do summon the courage, Viviane has an amazing time dealing with everything that comes her way. Wonderful experiences and learnings, but also dangerous people and places, like the time when she confronts death when her boyfriend tries to murder her. Yet always there is a higher power watching over her, and so safely through the danger she comes, wiser and stronger. Her new realisation that she is strong and protected opens up seemingly endless possibilities for her.
As the girls enter the later stages of the Chronicles, they are all sorely tested in ways that they never imagined, but what they learn along the path is so enlightening. The knowledge that they gain is a great gift but also a great responsibility because now they know what their mission in life must be, and what a wonderful mission it is. Join Viviane, Glenda, and Vicky on their journey.

Wow! What a wonder land.
Just like how Viviane found The Fury immensely irresistible, so too was The Bravehearts Of Belgrave High to me. Firstly, the choice of words used by the author is explicit and I found each word refreshing.
Travelling with this book – starting with the prologue down to the very last word – has been an unending revelation of fun, courage, magic and bravery. This was a highly enjoyable read.
The Bravehearts Of Belgrave High doesn’t bore you at any point. I felt compelled to read on till the very end. But when it ended, I was like, “When can I read the second book in the series?” I can’t wait until the author finishes the second book in the series.

A gripping yarn…fresh and fascinating. Deserved a 5-star
The storyline is centred on Viviane, a bright lanky teenager growing up in a dysfunction home. But there’s another side to her life – a magical world full of wonder and gripping adventures.
The writer does an excellent job of pulling me in from the very beginning. The characters are instantly likeable and relatable. I had a wonderful ride to the very last page! The entire novel is beautifully written, easy to read, absolutely engaging, magical and full of Mystery and Suspense.
Madeline Rose is such an amazing author. Her writing style is so present, so engaging, you will love the unique warmth she brought to this adventure packed novel.
