[Elaine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this tale of adventure by a local young author. My expectations when I began reading the book was that it would be immature in writing style, composition and story development. While there may have been a few areas where the author's inexperience was evident, I was quickly drawn into the story, and found myself reaching for the book more than many of the books I have read recently. Kudos to Phillip! Any plans for a sequel?
