A truly enjoyable read! This is a wonderful adventure story for middle grade age or for those of us that are still young at heart. It has great characters, magic, action, and adventure that make it such a fun read.
Pardigan, is a young theif, that helps himself to the treasure of a greedy merchant. In his loot there is a magic book and knife that make heroes into himself and his friends and sends them on a wonderful adventure. Pursued by the agents of Chaos, the greedy merchant and his hired mercenaries as well as the demons that have been conjured up, the boys along with Mara (a shap shifting girl) travel to distant lands to fulfill thier quest. All the characters, including the bad guys, are brought to life being very believable. Even tho the merchant is one of the bad guys, you can understand why he wants to get back what was stolen from him. My only issue is that the boys seem to be much older than they are supposed to be. I would have thought that they were older teens instead of around 12.
The storyline itself flows wonderfully. I love how their adventure takes them to distant lands and they meet different peoples (The Hidden was one of my favorite). Once I started it was hard to put down, even though things like work and eating and sleeping required it.
Overall, I loved the story. The characters were great. This was a very fun read and would recommend it to anyone who just loves a good story. Perfect especailly for a younger audience.
