[Justin G · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is pretty much a perfect fantasy children's novel. The artwork is what immediately stands out the most and reminds me very much of the fantasy world of Hyrule found in the Legend of Zelda series. The book itself is well written and should appeal to most children.
