The boy can't remember who or where he is. But he does know that he has a task to do—and it's very important he complete it exactly the way he was instructed, no matter who—or what—tells him otherwise.

At every step of his quest. Andrew is faced with a choice: will he do what he knows he must, or will he take a shortcut? He will meet new friends, bitter enemies, and some who are a little of both as he discovers his story is at once stranger and more magical than he thought.

I loved the story; first listened to the audiobook, then bought it to read to my grandkids. I think they will want me to keep reading the next chapter and the next.

Was a great audio listen! Can’t wait to read it to my little brother

Quick read that is entertaining! Creative, but the storyline is a bit choppy. It had good Biblical truths, and morals that taught trust and responsibility needs to be earned.

Really wanted to love it but...

I gave it 4 stars for the sound moral content, otherwise I'd have given it 3. The story really drags in the beginning. It took me till halfway through the book to start enjoying it. Its simply written and not very long so fortunately halfway came quickly. It was very hard for me to connect to the main character - he was pretty 2d. Ive read tons of good children's lit so maybe my expectations were too high. All this being said, towards the end of the book I was enjoying the story and when I finished the book I wanted to know what happened next. I read this aloud to my kids (10, 8, and 6) and though it took them a bit to get into it as well, they enjoyed it. I really appreciate how well this book presents truth.
