Conor and the Crossworlds, Book One: Breaking the Barrier
by Kevin Gerard. The perfect combination of action and comedy Great book to read if you've read the diego's dragon series."I am puragama champion of the crossworlds".

Not awesome. I found out about this novel from a bookmark at a library and thought, 'I'll give it a try'.. Nope bad decision. It was all over the place and didn't really make sense... Although, I guess it could be his journey to coming of age???

[Aaron Brower]
