Reviews
'Like C.S. Lewis, Müller offers effective characterizations... and an exciting plot that's ballasted by moral seriousness. The quest's puzzles and challenges are original and involving, and the ending is genuinely moving... A delightful, compelling fantasy adventure, sure to win fans.'
-- Kirkus Reviews
'A romp! Eric Müller delivers a fast-paced adventure that leads us through the mysterious realms of the elemental world. We meet characters who face danger with courage, fortitude and decisiveness. Young readers will have much to contemplate long after they have finished the last page.'
– Pamela Dalton, award-winning children’s books illustrator
'An amazing adventure that will delight any reader! A profound wisdom in its pages reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works, this is a wonderful chapter book to read aloud to a child and for older children to enjoy on their own.'
– Margaret Gorman, Waldorf adult and high school educator and mentor
