"As part of the Bona Fide tradition, it was customary for children to exchange bookmarks as their Christmas gifts to one another. Reading was a way of life in Bellager.

I decided to end this book about 3/4 of the way through. It’s not a bad book, but I believe it’s written for kids. It seems to be a children’s version of The Hobbit. A fun adventure story, but just to kiddish for me. I would recommend this book to a 3rd, 4th or 5th grader who loves a good magical adventure.
