"Great for fans of Rick Riordan." ★★★★★
"To me, it brings to mind such classics as Narnia and The Castle in the Attic." ★★★★★
"If I would describe this book in one word it would be Magical." ★★★★★
"I was drawn in by the fast paced action and intrigued by the vivid details." ★★★★★
"Great detail in the combat exchanges from clashes and gashes to fears and tears." ★★★★★
From the editor: "This was a pleasure for me. The story has gripped me strongly. You tell it well. I can hardly wait to see what happens next. I don't want it to be over. Also, to me, for whatever it is worth, there is increasing depth, especially in your portrayal of Alfred. As he assumes the mantle of kingship uncertainly, faltering in places, he is growing into the role. This feels authentic. It is natural, marvelous and to me inspired -- a notable accomplishment."

Couldn't turn the pages fast enough

Alfred: The Boy Who Would Be King by Ron Smorynski is a great beginning to a young teen series. Alfred is a young boy who enjoys video games and suddenly is in a medieval kingdom--a land of magic and powers beyond the ability of men and he, a young boy, is the king. Even though I'm a grandma many times over, I really enjoyed the book and know that I have several grandkids that will find it fascinating. Two worlds are linked magically through space and time and readers are introduced to goblins and ratkins, wizards and knights, and the boy king. There are forays into a Dark Forest, encounters with a hairy bear-beast, and a fantastic battle scene. So many 'funtastical' characters and action-packed scenes. I look forward to reading the other books in this series. I won this book in a contest from The Book Club Network and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
