Customer Reviews

A surprising but welcome find

I wD raken aback by thr quality and depth of this work; its wonderful and takes its subject matter and its target demographic (children) seriously n a way not all YA authors do. The artwork is more than competent; it enhances the story n a way that prose sometimes cannot and really envelops you as you engage the text. I picked this book up 4 fifty cents and spent a very pleasant morning reading it. Highly recommended for the child ( or child at heart) qho longs to feel the spirit of adventure.
