Believe it or not I discovered this book at a local dollar store. It ended being a hidden treasure. I was intrigued by the discription and came to find that the entire book was equally intrguing. You are introduced to each character and find there reasons for the journey to Labrinto. Each character is so unique and the has such an interesting addition to the story, that i could not put it down, for I couldn't wait to find out more.
