If I could give 2.5, this would be what this one gets. My first thought was this was a take off from Leven Thumps, though it gained its own story as it went along. I was bothered by the character development of Bridget, 9-year old girl. So many times her words, thoughts, and responses were not compatible with her age. I may have thought it was part of her character if there were not other places in which she was definitely 9. Further, while it is apparent there are future installments, this one was left at an ending that left a whole lot desired, not excluding more explanation.

I would rate this book a five out of five. This book was in the mythology category so it was interesting to me because I like mythology. I was confused on some parts but as I read along it made sense. The book will leave you wanting more and wanting to keep reading. The book was good but it could have been better if there was more action and adventure. If I were to recommend this book to my friends and family, I would recommend it to the people that like to read about mythology. Children and adults could read the book. In conclusion this book was very well written.… (more)
