This is my second time reading this book, the first being when I was in fourth grade and read this one out of all the books first (chronologically its first but it wasn't published first). I immediately loved it and wanted to read all the others.
Obviously some of the magic was lost through time and age growth, but the feeling of entering a magic world all mine own was the same. I was overcome with a sort of melancholy sensation: not only for the tone of the story but for what I will never have again as a reading experience as a 9 year old.

Amazing story. In my opinion, this book is far and above the best of this series. A wonderful adventure.

I loved this book when I read it in elementary school! I liked how it went into the past, instead of being one chapter in another book!

Great prequel to the series. Made the history more interesting to me and provided a stronger connection to both Thomas and Roland.

It was all right. The story of Thomas and Roland when they were little. I liked the boys well enough. The writing style was good but the dialogue and story were lacking. I was rather bored while reading it. Overall though, a nice companion book to "The Land of Elyon" series.

This was a good book, I might have enjoyed it more if I had read the other "Land of Elyon" books.
