Book Review: Victor and the Sun Orb by Amy Nielsen
Victor and the Sun Orb

iUniverse (2008)
Sun fairies both good and evil, monstrous creatures, adventure, magic, a talking strawberry bush, ant royalty, and an epic battle for the freedom of an entire world are in store in the wonderful young adult fantasy Victor and the Sun Orb by Amy Nielsen.
The book captivates from the Prologue. On Solandia, another dimension of Earth, a mythical sphere called the Sun Orb gives the fairies their magical powers. Without the Orb the entire world will become dark and magic-less. The book opens at the trial of Thorkel, the brother of King Godfred, a short time after Thorkel's capture for stealing the Sun Orb. Under Solandian law, Thorkel is sentenced by Queen Magenta to life imprisonment for his crime.
Some 500 years later, Queen Magenta has given birth to a son, Prince Victor. Not long after his birth it is learned that he has been cursed to become human on his 13th birthday. Humans cannot survive in the fairy world of Solandia and so upon turning the fateful age, Victor must leave his family to live with humans. The King and Queen search the entire Kingdom for the person responsible for Victor's mortality curse.
Victor's parents take the curse very seriously and decide to prepare Victor for life with the humans. Victor begins training with a fairy Master Tyrus. For three hours a day, Victor is trained in magic, history, geography, self-defense, and human lifestyles. Victor doesn't take to his studies right away, but in time he becomes a proficient student.
Despite an intense, decade-long search, the curse is not broken. Victor leaves home to live on Earth as a human after his thirteenth birthday. Meanwhile, the Sun Orb is stolen and the fairies' magic instantly begins to weaken. It is believed that Narcissa, a once banished terrorist fairy, or even Thorkel, may be responsible for the theft. Magenta and Godfred assemble an army and travel to a place called Fallen Island to find the Sun Orb. On Earth, Victor's human friend, Annika, has been kidnapped and evidence is found of evil fairy magic. Victor must use all he has learned from Master Tyrus to travel to Fallen Island to save her.
Amy Nielsen has created a universe with loveable creatures, horrible monsters, and mythical magic, effectively keeping readers of all ages entertained from cover to cover. Nielsen steadily builds the momentum over the first 100 pages. Then she throws us onto a thrill ride of twists and turns in the closing chapters, as the armies of Magenta/Godfred and Narcissa/Thorkel's evil Croogs meet in a heroic battle to save or enslave all Solandia.
Highly recommended for readers 8-13, with a caution of some mild course language.

What is in the daily life of a boot camp recruit, sun up to sundown (Navy, Army, Marines, SEALs, etc.)?
I'm curious as to what type of disciplines, schedules, habits, exercises, foods, educations, etc. it takes to be one of the 'best of the best'. I hold all the men and women in the military in the highest respect and admiration.
Although I can't speak for the rest of the branches and one that you did mention was SEAL training, here is what a typical day at BUD/S(SEAL) training would be.
At around 4:30am you report in for muster.
After two hours or so of doing exercises and conditionining you head in at 5:30am or 6:00am for breakfast.
After that its two evolutions(intense workouts), swim a couple miles, do the obstacle course, run a couple miles, more excerise and after that its lunch.
At around 12:00am you have lunch.
After that you do 1 or 2 more evolutions.
After that its more exercising and more running, more swimming etc etc.
After that you get a briefing on certain events, subjects and things like that, then you leave for dinner.
A typical day at BUD/S starts from 4:30AM to 9:00PM.
