Reviews

[Brent · Rating 3 out of 5]

The reason to read Tellos is the energetic cartoon storytelling by (the late, great) artist/creator Mike Wieringo, His rendition of characters co-created with writer Todd DeZago lifts the book from the predictable fantasy plot.
This genre is not my favorite, and I overlooked Tellos when first published. I'd like to find subsequent installments, and I really hope the series is in print for young and middle readers who would truly appreciate this story.
