This book is incredible. I don't know if the author herself has some sort of magical writing powers because WOW is it written BEYOND well. This is an author who put a whole lot of love into her writing, and it shows.
This book just works. It truly does. The setting and the plot just weaves itself together so well. You can feel as if you are connected to the characters.
All in all - definitely worth the read! I will be picking up a copy for my bookshelf when it becomes available!

I received an ARC copy from netgalley for my honest review,  so thank you netgalley and publishers for offering me this book! ♡
This was an interesting book, I really enjoyed it, It had a biblical element as well as fun creatures such as elves, dwarves and dragons. It was not at all what I expected it to be, but honestly I went into it Blind as I had not even read the synopsis. The cover and Title is what drew me to it.
This was my first book by this author, It was okay. It was slow paced but it was alltogether an easy read. ♡ I give this book a
3.5 star rating!

A book aimed at young children where two friends find themselves in a new land with dwarves, dragons and elves where they set out to find the king in order to get home but also to help the kingdom. Lots of lessons about being kind, being careful with speech, seeking forgiveness, and moving forward. There is a Christian slant to the teachings but not in a preachy way which makes this book ideal for teaching all children about morality, values, and how to be a good person.

As it is aimed at younger children the writing it simplistic and everything is spelt out. Some wonderful world building and I loved the author's imagination.

Thank you netgalley, publishers and author for this book.

4 stars.

Wow, I am impressed! This was so so good! Its a really fast read but it's not too short. I read it in one sitting. This was exactly the type of book I was after. It had everything I wanted. A dragon! A quest! Two kids who stumble into a magical kingdom through a mirror on a quest to find the long lost king. With the help of Dwarfs, a Dragon and an Elf who all learn important life lessons along the way with some truly great quotes. This is a definite yes for a middle grade adventure. I absolutely loved it!

I wanted to read the book because it seemed like it could take me back to my childhood, you know, having adventures and such. I was right, this book is absolutely delightful. This book comes out later this month and I am glad I got to read it. I have read that it gives a reference to book of James in the Bible but I have no idea, I am not a Christian. 

The book tells a story of a boy and a girl who accidentally travel to a hidden world called Presedia, it has everything that a fantasy fan requires. The world contains dragons, kings, elves and many more! It was very easy to read the book and on top of that, it was entertaining. His characters are actually pretty spot on when it comes to the age group. Jonah and Summer are absolutely fun to read and their journey in the hidden world is fascinating to see. It did have some really nice life lessons and it had a sort of Aesop's tales vibe? In that there were morals to be learned, life lessons to be understood and that sort of thing. 

I loved the book and it sort of made me feel young again, and I got to enjoy a nice adventure through Jonah and Summer. What more could I ask for?
