"ALEC," the first book in the Alexander Trilogy, is a fantasy novel about the coming-of-age of a young, imaginative boy.The protagonist is precocious dreamer Alec Baldwin, a boy who goes on fantastical adventures frequently in his mind.When the adventures come to an end, Alec becomes distraught, but then he discovers Princess Sandra, his inner voice.It is inspiring to follow Alec on his journey of self-discovery throughout the novel. The writing is both descriptive and affecting, making the reader even more connected with the plot. Portions of this novel were contained in Law's "The Princess," but the material was expanded to meet the desires of a more mature audience. It is clear from reading the book that this novel has a broad appeal.I would recommend this novel to any fantasy fan who wants a deeper meaning in their literature -- highly recommended!
