Allan Hudson rated a book it was amazing Shoebox by Sean Paul Bedell	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
An exceptional story told by someone who has been there. Bedell takes us behind the scenes of the paramedics doing their jobs. The ups and downs. While the main character has much to deal with, the novel draws you in until the very end. Well done.

Mr Eston has created another winner. He takes you to a land of magic, elves, strong characters with extraordinary powers and danger. I truly enjoyed this story and I am anxious to know what Lyna is up to next. Highly recommended.
