What I loved, loved, loved about this story was the way in, which the author takes a relatively normal family, and propels them into a completely different plain of existence, literary speaking.  Austin, the young boy is not so much a real hero, for he hasn’t really reached that point  in his life  Austin, the young boy is not so much a real hero, for he hasn’t really reached that point  in his life yet, however the fact that he knows he is different and slowly takes on the responsibilities of heroes past, is endearing and unique. Austin also has to deal with everyday life and bullies. The author has written a beautiful piece of fantasy, science fiction, drama and, family saga and all these genres are beautifully woven together in this story, thus achieving a rich and colourful tapestry of plot and subject matter.I also believe it has whet my appetite for another book; a sequel that will develop Austin, and prove that he can fight the evil red eyed creatures and many more that have still to turn up. This is only the beginning and I look forward to reading the next part of the story. An excellent, entertaining read.
