I loved this book. It has all the elements that make a quest book great: an unsuspecting hero who has a coming-of-age awakening; a wise mentor who guides him through the adventure; a villain's villain with a dark plan; and a hopeful prophecy of a returning king. ALso--lots and lots of colorful characters and creatures who populate the land of Humus where Jeffrey's family runs an inn. The plot itself twists and turns and keeps you reading. And while there are Christian undertones--they are not preachy, but powerful. I hope someone in Hollywood picks up on this book because it would make a great movie!
