A wonderful, engaging, story with both realistic and fantasy aspects... strong, relatable characters captured both the insecurities of youth ...as well as tapped into adolescent invincibility and questioning.

Imaginative prose and sharply drawn characters elevate the intriguing, original premise in Di Prima’s marvelous middle-grade drama.

An ageless intriguing story about overcoming, family issues, warrior-hood and being mission driven. This well-written escape is for all ages. Buckle in.
