Urchin King is an awesome story. It’s one of those stories that is a really good read for any age. Paul is the second twin and due to an ancient law, he was to have been killed at birth. To save him, he was switched with another baby. Sadly though his life didn’t turn out very well, at a  young age he ends up on the street, totally unaware of who his parents really were. Then through a twist of fate he switches places with his twin brother and discovers he is now in line to be king.Paul is such a neat character, he is so kind and giving and always looking out for others but you feel awful for what he’s been dealt in life. Yet he is okay with what life has given him. I was so caught up in his story, following him along, wondering what was going to happen to him, where his life was going. It was so cool to watch him grow from the timid young lad to one who knew what had to be done and gave the orders that were to be followed. This story really came alive for me – the castle, the lands, the people, the war, the magic, the evil – I could clearly ‘see’ this story. Very well done. I highly recommend it. I was given a copy as part of a book tour.
