Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Bookwormkate

Charlie and his friends are so easy to relate to that it is impossible not to care about their adventures. Charlie's power to jump between worlds causes him to be admired by some but it poses a great threat to others. Therefore, while facing the typical trials and tribulations of growing up, he must also defend himself against those who would cause him great harm. There are challenges around every corner and Charlie and his friends must overcome them or suffer the consequences.

This is a gripping fantasy novel that is a great foundation for the series. It weaves together mythology and historical elements to create some truly unique circumstances. This is not a book that talks down to its intended audience and I am sure some young adult readers will appreciate that. Lovers of mythology, fantasy and/or adventure tales are sure to find this a fully satisfying read.
