Descriptive and Imaginative!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My 9 year-old son read this book and couldn't stop talking about it. He thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to share it with me. I started it two days ago and have had to MAKE myself put it down. What a clever and imaginative piece of fiction! It has alot of the elements that appeal to young readers: adventure, mystery, and fictional characters and creatures. It is an excellent example of juicy, detailed writing and has fun illustrations to head off every chapter even though they're not really needed. It is in my opinion a great book for the author's first effort. We wish that she had other pieces of work for us to enjoy.
Captivating

I really liked this book because it is suspenseful, captivating, and mysterious. I would put it in a category with A Wrinkle in Time and Harry Potter. I'm almost ten years old, I read a lot and this is one of my favorite books.
