Every once in awhile, a book comes along that will whisk you away to another world - and if you're very lucky, at the end of the story, it's one that also illuminates your own. Over the Mountain and Back is just such a book.Peter's life has been less than perfect since the day his father went missing. One day, after his snowboard breaks, he is given a new snowboard - one that only works for him - and his life changes forever! What follows is a wonderful journey overflowing with heart and hope and humor.I was thoroughly charmed by Lara, whose courage and humor are matched by the responsible demeanor Peter has been forced to assume every since his mother started falling apart at the disappearance of her husband.I especially enjoyed the magical beings Astor created for this lively novel. This is a very entertaining and charming fantasy adventure for all ages.
