If you like reading things like, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, then you need to add this book to your collection. New author, Geoffrey Leigh, astounded us with this winsome tale of adventure filled with dwarves, elves, humans, and goblins, where the battle of good versus evil is imminent. The story occurs in an imaginative world of great description. It is a reader's delight.
With depth and great character development, Leigh, offers the reader a great story that will keep the reader drawn in. We did not want to put the book down. We continually wondered how the story would end.
Our approach with this book was to use it as a read aloud as a family. This is a great book for this type of family activity yet it can also be read alone. It is so interesting though, you will want to talk about it with your friends.
This title did not disappoint. It is not a "Christian" book but is written like Tolkien's books where one can ponder the messages being conveyed to find deeper messages. This is another depth the book took us as a family and we greatly appreciated that. A good book is one that the reader can ponder and pick apart looking for the greater, deeper meaning. This book did that well.
It is a book that captured the attention of the people in our home whose ages range from five to forty. We really enjoyed it. Reading with your family is so rewarding and inspires much more imagination than watching television together.
You can get a copy of this book from the publisher, Frog Street, here or later next month at Target stores.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.
