Eight books. More than two thousand pages. Full colour throughout. Smilo begins the series being led and ends it learning to lead.
Underneath the adventure the series is doing something deliberate: it walks a young reader through the major archetypes and the patterns of behaviour they are going to meet for the rest of their lives — so that when those patterns arrive, the shape of them is already familiar. The reader comes out with a compass rather than a surprise.
If you read with someone between eight and fifteen, or you review children's books, I'll send copies. PDF holds the illustrations properly; EPUB if you'd rather.
