Oops, I left this one at my parents. (

Alex Logan is your ordinary teen when he is pulled into the land of Mythos to help princess Dara save her kingdom from the evil Shadow Lord. Together, with a magical scroll, an African Warrior, an Amazon Archer, a Japanese Samurai, Roman Legionnaire and a Shaolin Monk, they set out on a journey to save the kingdom. I decided to read this book because I couldn't ever remember reading a fantasy book before and thought I'd give it a try. What I liked the most about the book was that the pages look like scrolls. Very neat! The story was very good but sometimes the dialogue was a little patronizing. What I didn't like was that scattered throughout the book were explanations of what was just said, like we wouldn't get it if it wasn't explained to us. That got on my nerves since I understood it the first time. Other than that, it was a good book and I may just read the sequel when it comes out. (

I wasn't sure what I would think of this book at the beginning. It's a little out of my normal reading genre, but I have to say I really enjoyed this.

Your typical good vs. evil theme with all kinds of great characters along the way. The little girl who holds great power. A teenage boy sucked into the world to protect her, even though he's the furthest thing from a warrior. The nifty ability to pull things and people from the history books that came with him.

The book is full of rich characters, fantastic adventures and danger all the way through it. It even has pirates! So much fun!

I think this is a book kids would love to delve into and experience. As a matter of fact when the book arrived my oldest son grabbed it and told me he got to read it first, and when he gave it back to me a few days ago he told me he really liked it.

I didn't realize it was the beginning of a series until I got to the end, so I look forward to reading book 2 when it comes out. I'm anxious to see what adventures will come next for Dara and Alex.(I received this book for review purposes). (
