Critic reviews

"[Obert] Skye’s quick-paced, humorous adventure will keep kids of all ages reading this summer." ( Las Vegas Review Journal)

An excellent listen and a good book for the kids

This is a book I started reading in high school and put down. I just recently rediscovered it and got it on Audible and just listened to it in its entirety and it is just as enjoyable now as it was when I was in high school.

Fun Middle Grade Fantasy

It started a bit on the sad side with a young boy (13 yrs) acting out because his mother was sick and he had no other support at home, she dies and he is shipped off to a reclusive uncle he has never met. He gets in to a lot of trouble as he always has done at school and strange things start happening and secrets in his uncle's house cause him to investigate. The story starts a bit slow but it becomes more intriguing and you slowly get pulled in. It's a great book for 5th grade and above for those who like mystery, fantasy and of course dragons.

I listened to this one with my 11 and 15 year old sons and we really enjoyed it. The narrator did a great job, was very entertaining and really good differentiation with the character voices.

wonderful book for kids upto 99

Such a great told story, I wish the rest was done in audiobook format. I've enjoyed it so much I have listened to it 4times.
