This is one of those books that you remember and return to. I first read this book when I found it on the library shelves of the middle school where I was an English teacher. I read it and was entranced. I passed it on to my daughter, and she loved it too. Years later, when we held family reading nights to encourage my son to read, this is one of the books I read out loud. It was a fabulous read. I've recommended it to numerous teens, and they have loved it. If you enjoy mystical moments, a few Celtic twists, adventure, and the strange and unexpected, then this is most certainly an adventure you do not want to miss. I count it among my favorite reads.
