I am so glad I chose this Grandfather of kids fantasy to share with my 3rd Graders. Several of the boys loved it and are now reading the whole series. The girls not so much so, but you can't please everyone.

Wow. That is the kind of writing that can get you through many a long cold night.
Thank you for reading!
