Opinion:
This book is written by my favorite author, Natalie Babbitt. I always like her short stories and books for multiple reasons. First of all, they are fantasy. I LOVE anything that has to do with fantasy. I also enjoy her books because they are very detailed. You can easily get to know the characters and know exactly how they are feeling all the time. This book was wonderful. It met my expectations easily. I liked how it contained a lot of mythical creatures and magical events. I also enjoyed this book because its plot/story continued to move in a reasonable pace. It was always moving but at the same time got all the important details. I never got bored. I cant say anything bad about this book. I rate it 5 *****.
Recommendations
I think kids ages 8-12 would enjoy this book. It has no curse words or inappropriate events or actions. Fantasy lovers, I totally advise you to read this book. I think (some) adults might believe this book may be boring or to kid-like. I recommend this book especially to anybody who enjoys adventure.
