Rating: I gave this book a 5 star rating because it is wonderfully written and has a great plot. The creatures in the book (such as goblins and elves) are also quite unusual and come alive in this saga. The illustrations in the book are cool too. All in all, it is an amazing book and has been a favourite with children since it was first been published in 1937. And you can be an ordinary person and still become a real hero! Back to Adventure
