Good Short Fantasy

This is a good story if you're into fantasy and want a quick read. It is also a good story for pre-teen or early teen readers. Unlike most other Worlds of Power Stories, this story does not revolve solely around the re-telling of a video game story. Instead, it involves a young boy who finds himself transported into the magical world of Wizards and Warriors. While in this world, the kid (who's name escapes me) and the Knight Kyros must fight their way through several locations mentioned in the game such as the forest, the blue caves, and lava pits to combat the evil Wizard Malkyl. The boy cannot be seen by any of the monsters from this world and most of the fighting is left up to Kyros. The boy does, however, prove himself to be useful throughout the quest. The whole book can be read in about three hours even if you're a slow reader and is written on the sixth grade level. It can be fun at times and anyone who's fantasized about being in their favorite video games could relate.

Awesome book for kids!

This book was my favorite as a kid. It alows the imagination to wander. Whether or not you have ever heard of the game you will love this book! You ought to read it just to bring out the kid in you again!!
