Michael really enjoyed this book and asked me to read it to him every day. The book has some wonderfully imaginative ideas like a witch with multicoloured hair, a broom that is her slave and a map that flies the superheros to where they need to get to. The book is set in the mythical land of Weaverland and Michael commented that it was most unfair that he couldn't live in a land where the houses are built of gold nuggets. Michael also loved the idea of normal children who turn into superheros and set off to save other children from an evil witch.
The story has a very strong message teaching children not to trust strangers or take anything from them. I must say that some of the descriptions in the book, for example, child broth and eating children, are graphic and a bit dark. I didn't feel, however, that this book was more scary than many of the familiar fairy tales we tell our children such as Hansel and Gretel and Blue Beard. Parents of young children or children that are sensitive should bear this in mind though.
The book is beautifully illustrated and there are pictures on over page. Michael really liked that and commented on a number of the illustrations.

Despite this obviously being for a much younger crowd I was totally thrilled when I received a copy of this book. Firstly the presentation is beautiful. The illustrations used throughout the book are so well done that I was impressed! I decided to show my nieces and now we are fighting over who gets to read it first out of the three of them.
The story itself is heart warming and really drives home an excellent lesson all children should learn in life about not trusting strangers. Hendrik's developed inspirational and magical characters and presented them in such a way that children can truly marvel at this beautiful tale. I recommend this book to any parent who is teaching their children about the dangers of speaking to strangers!

It is so unfortunate that we have to teach our children not to trust strangers, but this is the world we now live in – one in which children are stolen from their families every day. The Legend of the Gilded Scroll and the Danger of a Nice Stranger is a refreshing look at how to teach our children the rules regarding stranger danger. Although I found the story to be a little too long, the world it creates is fascinating and detailed. The Magic Wishing Scroll, which brings our super heroes to life was a wonderful surprise and the fact that the super heroes are orphans adds a dimension of emotion which was unexpected. The use of manga-style art is appropriate to the times we live in and the artwork is delightful. The message of the story is very clear and is brought forward in a magical way. Nada the Trogard is a truly awful character and I can’t wait to see where her evil intentions take our super heroes to next.
