4 and up. This is an amazing book and the first of a series. It goes to great
depth to explain the characters and the scenery is amazing! It kept me on the
edge of my seat and I could not put it down until I finished. It is so amazing
it’s hard to put into words; it just has an unbelievable plot. Great
adventure/fiction book!
So
basically what happens in the book is Alex, the main character of the book, is
walking down the street when he walks by a bookstore. There is a small sign in
the door that says: “adventurers wanted”.
He looks around to see if anyone saw the sign and when he looked back at the
sign to see if he missed anything, it had changed to “adventurers wanted; apply within”.
He blinked, surprised that it had changed. He looked closely, but there was no
mechanism to switch the sign! He looked back at the sign and this time it said:
“adventurers wanted; apply within, reasonable prices!”
He wondered how it was doing this, and went inside what looked like him to a
bookstore.
Inside,
he was surprised once again, to find only a few tables and a couple couches.
There was no shelves, no books, just the tables and couches. There was a person
there, and he decided to ask him. The man introduced himself as Mr. Clutter,
and Alex introduced himself. Then Mr. Clutter asked him a lot of questions and
wrote them down on an “adventurers contract”. He was surprised because just a
while ago he was wishing for a different life.
Alex
goes on a quest with some others, (Halfling, dwarfs, elf) and defeats Slathbog
the red who has been causing trouble. He also faces a 3 legged troll, and some
bandits. He finds a “magic” sword named “Moon slayer”. The other members of the
party are Bregnest, Halfdan, Thrang, Tayo, Skeld, Andy and Arconn.
So
yeah, good book overall and I recommend reading it at 9 or 10 years old. Yeah,
just go read it! C’mon, what you waiting for?
