* Actual rating is 3.5 stars. *

I enjoyed this book and the Celtic mythology within, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The beginning half didn't feel very much like middle grade, as we followed a married couple and then their experience as new parents before magic comes in. The main character Jack isn't even of age to be the hero until halfway through. He didn't enter the magical world until 3/4 through, when there were about 60 pages left. However, I did enjoy the other world once it was introduced, and I loved that the story took place in Ireland prior to the world change. The ending was also intriguing, and I'll likely pick up the second book when it comes out so I can see where Jack's adventures take him next. ;)
