Awesome book, awesome series

Kevin Gerard's writing is compelling, the story is exciting. If you love fantasy adventures, this is the beginning of an awesome series. Lots of cats for the cat lovers too!

Conor Gets My Vote

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first purchased Conor and the Crossworlds: Breaking the Barrier, but I was soon on an amazing adventure with Conor. The book starts in the middle of a battle between two fantastic creatures, with Conor on the sidelines, then flashes back to how he got there in the first place. Soon you are on a perilous, and sometimes bizarre, journey with Conor that will eventually take him from childhood--he's ten in the beginning of this story--through adolescence. I look forward to watching Conor grow and become a man, while enjoying the fantastic adventures and otherworldly creatures in this new fantasy series. Not only should it be required reading at middle schools, but it should also be made into a film. I look forward to reading the next book in the series; in fact, I will be purchasing the next book as soon as I finish typing this review.

A great fantasy-reality

Conor's struggle with the death of his uncle combined with his fantasy-reality adventures with Purugama create an incredible tale that offers 10-13 year olds some guidance as they enter their very formative teenage years. I love Purugama's patience as he leads Conor through his many quests and adventures.I shall recommend this book to middle school librarians. More, more! - really means I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Entertaining, Thoughtful and Exciting!

I thought that this is an amazing story! The writing is excellent and the story is fantastic. I think it should be required reading in public schools! I love the front cover!
