Book Review and Awards
"Awesome! You've gotta share this one!...What an excellently captivating middle-grade novel. Steve Westover draws you in from the start. Tied into the fantasy is a wonderful mystery involving kids who have to figure out what happened to their parents, find them, and figure out how to rescue them. There is a lot of mythology surrounding Crater Lake and Wizard Island intricately intertwined throughout the story. That, and the vivid descriptions of Crater Lake led me to search out the actual images for the real-life lake. The accuracy and brilliant descriptions make for such a creative story." - Sara J. Kovach "Great enterainment for middle grade readers." - D. Thorne
