Really good kids book about a boy who had to step up to a challenge. I really enjoyed this one. It isn't the best kids fantasy I've read, but it is definitely unique.

Amazing and original.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone (Though it does have some swearing throughout.)

I only started to read this book because I was bored and had nothing else at the time. But as soon as I started, I was hooked. It's definitely something different, keeps you wondering.. and definitely not predictable.

Definitely fun to read.

This is a great adventure book for tweens, age 12-14 range. The language in the story is straight forward and the narrative voice is easily believable as that of a teenage boy. The adventure is interesting and much like an Indiana Jones adventure that takes place on some other planet. I would recomend this books to young boys as it may keep them interested. As an adult that enjoys young adult/teen books I have found better reads that require a higher reading level and are perhaps more...poetic? But hey - for a target audience of boys 12-14 I'd say the writing style fits.
