This author's unique style and impressive imagination shine through in this first installment in a serial story.  We're plunged so skillfully into the author's book universe that we have no trouble keeping up with terms or the assumptions of her richly detailed world.  The information is provided seamlessly, just when we want it.  The characters are engaging and full of personality, especially the charming Go-Fer Dog.This is an ideal story for older kids, as well as adults who love a good magical fantasy that is unlike anything they've ever read before.  A real treasure.  Burke has an amazing talent for creating truly original stories.  Make no mistake about it - this is truly gifted author, who deserves to climb to the top.
