REVIEW:
A rip roaring childrens adventure novel that is currently as unique as Harry Potter was on his original outing which makes this a book that I think will soon have the premise replicated by others trying to produce something different. The characters are not only interesting but also have a vibrancy about them that makes this mammoth book a hard to put down tale.
Its quirky and when you add to the mix an arc featuring murder, betrayal as well as consequences from inaction due to the character tribes fear and you have a tale that really does inspire. A great offering and definitely an author to watch.
