A riveting new fantasy, perfect for adults or teens from a bestselling author.

Sara's life is drastically changed the moment a convoy of horse-drawn caravans enters the quiet Reidenburgerstrasse in Germany, where she lives with the people she thinks are her parents. Sara doesn't know that her parents found her in a basket on their doorstep thirteen years earlier. Neither does she know that she is a gypsy or that she is going to be the greatest sorceress who has ever lived. Soon Sara will discover a magical world she never knew existed and go on a journey that she knows will cost her dearly.

What people are saying about Song for a Gypsy:

‘If you are a fan of YA fantasy adventure books or would like an easy, fun, enjoyable read, adult or child, go ahead and pick this one up. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to read this to two of my step-daughters (who are 8 and 11)because I know they would love this story.’ - readitreviewit.

‘It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland and how once she left some sort of creature/obstacle behind, there was always something else even more strange ahead of them.’- readingwithstyle

‘I never had a dull moment reading the book. It was fun and full of exciting happenings and fast-paced just the way I like it! I recommend it to young readers, but adults can still enjoy the story’- coffeebooksandme

I find it amazing that Willow Rose could write a book like this. I would recommend that any boy or girl ages 13 to 16 would totally enjoy reading this book. Willow is an amazing writer. She can write horrors, blood curdling stories and then one for young readers. She is a Fantastic author.

4.0 out of 5 stars An adventure into a scary land.
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020

I have very seldom read this type of book before, but I must admit that I found this one interesting! I really liked Sara & Manolo and enjoyed their adventure. I think my favorite character was the very large, clumsy snail who talked all the time and occasionally stepped on people and killed them. Not that she meant to, of course!!

Willow Rose has a wonderful, vivid imagination and has done a great job with her characters.

I have never read any Harry Potter books but I think the excitement I felt in this book must be the same that Harry Potter fans finds in his "magic".

One of my favorite authors. Again she weaves a magical tale of the enigmatic gypsies. I found it very interesting how she seamlessly blended the real with the imaginary.
Mysterious adoption of a baby that is more than it seems. The pace and action kept me reading till the very end. Always a good read and I wasn't disappointed.

"We are all wanderers on this earth/ our hearts are full of wonder/ our souls are deep with dreams" - Gypsy Proverb

during the Second World War, in a small town called Lindenmühle, Mr. and Mrs. Schneider find on their front door a baby girl inside a basket with a note attached instructing them to call her Sara and take care of her. during Sara's tenth year, she discovers that she has telekinetic abilities. when Sara turns thirteen, her real parents show up and take her back to live with them. a year later, Sara has a baby brother who suddenly falls ill. Sara's quest to find a cure will bring her and her friend Manolo beyond their Gypsy camp to the Black Castle where The Eye of the Crystal Ball holds the answer. their adventure will be filled with danger as they encounter strange situations and creatures that test their will, emotions and physical endurance.
author T.P. Boje has written a fantasy novel aimed at middle grade readers and up. the chapters are marked with titles which prompt the reader what to look forward to.
i actually like the story even if some ideas remind me of Rowling's Harry Potter and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy. one major niggle i had was how the Schneiders' simply handed Sara over to her parents without question even if they never saw or met them for thirteen years. i do not think it would be that easy for me or anyone else to do so if some strangers appear at my doorstep and say "We're the real parents, so please give our daughter back to us and thank you for taking care of her. Child, pack your bags now and join the rest of the caravan!" even if this scenario was critical to the plot, it did not sit well with me. this was wartime after all.
i would have also enjoyed the story more if it were not for the constant spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors (e.g. "steel" instead of "steal", "loose" instead of "lose", sentence fragments and word order).
overall, it was still an okay read for me and i did find some gems tucked here and there. this novel, though, really needs editing to make it shine more especially since the conclusion hints at a possible sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start to the series!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019

Left on a village doorstep when she was just three weeks old, Sara was deeply loved by her adoptive parents. As she grew older the physical differences between her dark skin and black curly hair and the blonde German looks of the other villagers invited comments and teasing. Her schoolmates discovered that teasing would cause her to become angry and her mind would cause items to begin flying in the air. This became a source of great fun and a way to get her in trouble with the teachers.

One day when she was 12 a gypsy couple showed up at her parents door and introduce themselves as her real parents. By now, her adoptive parents had children of their own and too many mouths to feed so they did not argue when her real parents wanted her back. Sarah became accustomed to the Gypsy life and learned that her telekinetic powers were just the beginning of the powers she would develop. It has been foretold that she would be the most powerful sorceress and perform great feats for her people.

The story moves along and involves the reader, but it most certainly is a departure from the gypsy stories I have read. The characters have quite a journey to undertake. The battle to complete the quest is harrowing and hard lessons are learned on the way. What song will you take after reading this book? I am reviewing this book voluntarily and hope you take the opportunity to read it . It is a fine book.
