There is a touch of magic between the covers of this book! A young family member who lives with me has never been a reader. He would rather watch the TV. Yet, after reading the first book, he has begun talking about what he read, delighted at finding meaning and moral lessons in the story. He was anxiously awaiting Book Two, and ordered it as soon as it became available. It seems clear that J. Colby has found the language that reaches his young readers.
It is a wonderful thing to see a young person discover the joys of reading good stories, and so much more so when it is someone who previously avoided reading anything at all. We look forward to Book Three - let the adventure continue!
