Book Review: Dashing derring-do for the young at heart. Summary: 5 Stars
Chock full of wonderfully drawn characters laced throughout with an endearing sense of whimsy. Categorized as young adult reading, this is a book for all ages - and for the ages. Not only will this fantasy entertain you but generate a significant amount of the underlying tenor of the book - thought. The author artfully creates an environment for his protagonists that necessitates the questions so many of us take for granted. Did I mention the humor? Laugh out loud situations and dialogue from start to finish - imagine Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson and Lord of the Flies with a dash of Monty Python. Great sfuff indeed!

Book Review: Delightfully Pratchett Summary: 5 Stars
As a long time fan of Pratchett, I was looking foward to his latest book with greedy anticipation. He fed my imagination well. This is a vivid story of surviving overwhelming adversity, and determination to re-create community when home and family are a memory, and hope is all but lost. In true Pratchett form, when he draws you into a very real new world that is both astonishing and frightening, the bumps and bruises are softened with understated humor. Mau and Daphne's pain will sear your heart as they rebuild their world and grow beyond their years. A book that is perfect for any age.
