This was wonderful MG fantasy! It reminded me quite a bit of Diana Wynne Jones (especially with the very strong, intelligent children characters). Each character was endearing, and the plot exciting. The stakes are high, and the author was not afraid of portraying real sacrifices (characters die!), but somehow it's not terribly violent. I really enjoyed it, and had lots of fun going on Peter's adventure!

Not the book for me. I kept thinking of the comment someone made about the Daredevil: "His superpower is being blind but being able to do everything anyway." Could not suspend my disbelief, did not finish.

Hearing this one out of the corner of my ear. 2nd grader finds it exciting but it seems pretty dark.
