Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The first in a trilogy, this book is one of war, violence and love. Marked with a sprinkling of dry humor, this is the tale of Theo, a strong-willed orphan and his companions, two of whom are Count Las Bombas, a crooked man, and the girl with whom he falls in love, the mysterious and opinionated Mickle. Theo sets out on a journey of desperation after becoming involved in a murder. The town of Westmark is in a state of complete chaos; the King is on his deathbed, leaving the opportunity for a controlling, power-hungry man to take over, and the Princess is missing. In the end, it becomes Theo's personal quest to save the city while facing a decision between right and wrong. This winner of the ALA Best of the Best Books for Young Adults award is a treat to read. Because of its intense combination of humor and danger, this book will appeal to readers of all genres. Alexander does an incredible job, once again, of telling a story full of magical wonder. 2002, Penguin Group,
