This is book one we're either back and I'm sure you are already readers. volume one a book of many wonders including lovable young heroes astonishing apathy magic and the funniest talking bat ever it's amazing unpredictable and so smart I absolutely love it Tui Sutherland(volume 1) (volume two) with an engaging hero talking animals arcane magic moral issues unresolved plot this first of the of a proposed trilogy promises more exciting Forest wonders I didn't think it was the first one it says two on that side how can it be the first one. I read Linda Sue Park in a different series and she is wonderful. Book three in the genre that often pains good and evil in black and white park has written a book with a lot of gray and green there's a force after all .
