This is a whimsical story filled with vivid imagery and exciting action! Thought provoking lessons of life are learned by young Molly, her brother, Luke, and Wally, the hermit. As the story progresses, these fascinating characters discovered skills they didn’t know they were capable of performing and developed values that are sound and true. Readers of any age can identify with this interesting novel. I absolutely loved your book. I really liked the premise and the settings. All of your sensory details made me feel like I was there, experiencing all of the twists and turns of your story. I loved the aspect of the ring and what it would be like to have it for myself. The plot had a Lord of the Rings vibe to it and I really enjoyed it. All the characters were great, too. I could relate to all of them and they all seemed unique and special. I loved Luke and Molly's relationship and how it often reminded me of Sam and I. I can't wait to read your books yet to come.
