I really enjoyed this middle-grade fantasy story for its entertaining mixture of magic and life lessons. It kept me entertained while at the same time made me think about the message that was lying beneath the surface of the story.The two main characters, Sebastian and Sarah, are fifth grade students that decide to explore the fallen oak tree that has stood in front of their school for centuries.  During their exploration they become trapped in a cave and discover a hidden world of magic, adventure, and problems.This is one of those books that I have to share at least one of my favorite passages from. I hope it will convince you to enjoy this wonderful story and to share it with the kids in your life.A girl with fair skin and curly auburn hair raised her hand from the back row. "Miss Storm, how do we know our tree is special if we don't see anything strange ever happen?"Miss Storm smiled. "Sara, in fairy tales as in life, there are times when you are asked to believe in things you may not be able to see."Originally posted on Gin's Book Notes .com*I received this book from the author for free in exchange for an honest review.*
