Vivid description of setting and place gave the story breath and life. Torb does exactly that, which is where this tale truly begins. Most of you can relate to that movie, where you know a character shouldn't enter or go. This stress aka drive pushes him to make some risky decisions, endangering the life he's always known, including the precious secret of his people's successful muffin business. It's a constant battle for him, struggling with feeling like he has to prove himself to his family and clan. Torbjorn seems to always come up short in comparison to his brother. This is a great MG tale of self-awareness-in oneself as well as in one's place within a family unit. And once you read the story, the cover will hold such meaning for you. Plus, the cover is a hoot! Just look at it. A perfect middle grade tale to read with your kids! There's action, mystery, and valuable lessons on loyalty and purity.
