Fantastic series.
An 8th grade boy whose opinion I value and respect mentioned this book every time he came into the library. We had both read the others in the series, but he got to this one first. "You've got to read this!" he said for the fourth time as he put it into my hand.
Well, he was so right.
This is the kind of series it's hard to let go. I find myself planning how the characters will continue after the author has let them go. It feels like the end of Harry Potter when you see the characters all grown up and sending their own children off to school. Bittersweet.
So, thank you Brandon Mull for creating this series and as a result, the types of conversations between generations of readers who get so excited they force books on each other!
