Cooper's young adult novels are fun, if a bit dated. A lot of it doesn't feel very exciting because the children involved are always kept extremely safe and rarely in any kind of immediate and really threatening danger - which is markedly different from today's Harry Potter or A Series of Unfortunate Events works. There are still a lot of interesting concepts and the story itself is timeless.

One of the best fantasy books I've ever read. A brilliant start to a powerful sequence of five books. Highly recommended.

STARTS OUT A LITTLE SLOW AND LACKS A LITTLE DETAIL TO THE WAY THINGS WORK BUT A REALLY GOOD QUICK READ, ESPECIALLY FOR A YOUNG PERSON.
