First of all, how cool is this cover? It speaks right to the soul of the little me, and even the more adult me! The illustrations of the book are all as good so that is a strong points. The story is okay, but I would have like something a bit more... a bit more cohesion in it. It seem like the story lack some fluidity. A bit like the different chapters just a pieces here and there but not much between them, a lack of continuity maybe. I have hard time finding the right word... Anyway, even if not perfect, this book was fun and is a good entry points for fantasy for reader that just start to read «novel», novel for young kids here, three chapters, 40 pages so... But a fun entry point for kids I sure would have love it (more then I already did) as a kid! Totally worth it!
