Aiden & Maggie are spending their summer with their Grandparents; Beebop & Nana.While hunting rocks and gemstones they happen across a fairy cross stone. It's a strange looking rock that Beebop is unsure about so they take it home to look up on the internet.They discover an elf named Findecano is trapped inside. Aiden & Maggie agree to release him.With this new freedom there comes a price, they four of them are forced to flee their home and escape to the magical land of Celahir setting themselves on a quest with Findecano to restore order to both of their realms.This was such a fun book to read. At first I thought it would be a book written at a level for children but was surprised at how much it became a fun book for adults to enjoy too.I was immediately taken in by Beebops character, his enthusiasm and almost childlike behaviour is addictive to read.His character contrasts well with Nana's character she is strong and loveable, very protective of her Grandchildren.The children are strong characters and very brave.Such a brilliant family combination described perfectly.The plot is intriguing, the idea that the problems in a magical realm could directly affect the lives of the people in our world.The magic in this book is not only on the pages but inside the imagination of the reader when they picture everything that happens in this story.Thoroughly enjoyable for all ages I will recommend this book to anyone who wants a magical escape.
