I feel the author puts many of her real life experiences,inside the fictional character Jessica T. Wyrd, and her friends on an unforgettable journey, that all ages can relate to. What an awsome book by an awsome writer,, Lightmasters, Number 13 should be on every book shelf, in every home. Looking forward to reading more from M.G. Wells. <CB>

This is an amazing fantasy. I've never heard of MG Wells and would like to see this awesome author write a follow up to this book. It all starts on Jessica's 13th birthday. She's mad about living with her wacky grandparents, who bicker most of the time. The grandparents are hysterical Welsh relics, who eat and fart and turn out to be really cool old dudes. I loved the pace and spirit of this book and plan to buy it for my fantasy freaks book club members. For the price, I highly suggest you buy this book. It's exciting, thrilling and has lots of cool and crazy characters. I don't want to give away the story. For all you fantasy loving freaks, I hope you buy this book. It's a great read. I want MORE. Rock on, MG! I can't wait to read the next book to see how it all turns out.

MG's debut novel is awesome! I'm a single dad with an 8 year old daughter, who LOVES fantasy. I bought the book for her birthday and she read it straight through the night.
She loved the lead character, Jessica T. Wyrd (pronounced WORD, not WEIRD) because she was feisty and strong.
I haven't seen my daughter like a book so much since the Harry Potter series.
Recently, I read the story myself and loved it! It's a major thrill ride, and the characters are so exciting and diversified.
I highly recommend this book to ALL fantasy lovers.
It would make a great gift for ages 8 and up.

A friend of mine gave me this book as a gift. I truly enjoyed reading LightMasters: Number 13 and wish the author continues with a series because I want more! This was one of the most amazing tween/teen/young adult books I have read in quite some time. This story really made me think about the magic of thoughts.
The LightMasters are an alliance of mystics from different cultures, who are guardians of Earth from evil forces. The LightMasters recruit Jessica, who discovers she has magic powers on her 13th birthday. The LightMasters urge her to join their group, so they can defeat an nasty alien beast.
I enjoyed following Jessica on this most unique adventure. She's a highly intelligent, but a sad young lass because she lost her parents in a car accident and is forced to live with her grandparents. Jessica's cheeky Welsh grandparents are great characters and brought lots of humor to the story. The other characters were all so different and varied in their cultures, which was unique and interesting.
I highly recommend this book. It's a fast-paced, action-packed story. It also falls into many categories like action, adventure, fantasy, mystery, sci-fi and thriller. The typesetting was also well spaced so it made it easy on me eyes. I highly recommend this unique and special book. It's truly one of a kind.

First off, I'm a single dad with two girls one middle grade (8) & young adult (13). All I can say is they went wild over this book. Truthfully, my girls read books to me because I'm too busy to do read to them. They loved the main character, Jessica and all the characters. I have to admit the parts they did read to me were exciting, humorous and very interesting. I also like the fact this book does not have any curse words or graphic sex. Accordingly my girls, it's a winner.

LightMasters: Number 13, was a real page turner for me. It was exciting and moved very fast and what I'd rate as PG-13. You spend the entire story living inside Jessica's head. I could relate to most of the characters and truly liked the unique storyline.
I could relate to Jessica, who had to deal with a lot of horrific, amazing challenges as 13 year old outcast. I also LOVED Jessica's eccentric, funny grandparents. If you love fantasy, action adventures, I recommend LightMasters: Number 13. It's exciting to find an independent author whose writing is fantastic. Please M.G., write another one!

A friend of mind referred this book to me & I read it in a day. The main character, Jessica, is a sad teen who discovers she has quite an amazing destiny on her thirteenth birthday. She is plunged into a strange adventure, only to return to her uncomfortable school environment a totally different person. This is a great story for all who like an thrilling action/adventure mystery filled with lots of interesting and memorable characters.
