Review: A Very Worthwhile YA Read
Rating: 5 out of 5

When my children had trouble falling asleep I would tell them about the fantastic exploits of “Peter” (not Pan). Every night I had to come up with a fresh scene. I found it easier to make a story up than to retell one that they already knew better than I. That way I could not make a mistake. The legend in Richie Earl’s book, Finndragon and his curse, is fantastic. The children are perfectly believable and age appropriate. “’What happened next?’ Megan asked excitedly, her hazel eyes burning brightly, even though she knew how the story ended.” To me the story is fun in very much the same way as Peter Pan was fun for me when I was a child. The author’s already substantial talent can only grow the more often he puts pen to paper. A very worthwhile YA read. –Michael Carrier
