Review: Fun fantasy for kids

The second episode in the story of how a mismatched group of children manage to survive against amazing odds to creep closer to their goal of freeing their country from the tyranny of Argyle, Castiglias' ruler.I must admit, my favourite character in this book had to be the Fracik, leader of the diegylis, half-man, half-werewolf creatures that are sensitive to sunlight. A villain he may be in his own right, as it's his job to lead the diegylis pack to hunt down Aidan, Olivia, Lilly and Daniel, but he has his own past tragedies, too, with a family he dreams about even as he does his duty to the man who took them from him. I think he'll be an interesting character to watch as the series progresses.Most definitely a children's book - I suspect if there were the possibility of any kissing in it, one of the children would cry, "Gross!"
