Short Review - This is a very good young adult fantasy (around 9 or 10 and up) in the vein of Narnia. Has talking animals, fight against evil, and girl that turns out to be a Palidin, her best friend is a boy that finds out he can talk to rocks. Great hero story. It is the first of a series with the second book coming out later this year. I have liked the author's other books which have been oriented toward adults and fictionalized Christian teaching books. But this is a straight fantasy book. A Christian worldview, but like Narnia no actual mention of Christianity.
