SERIES REVIEW:
One of the most unique fantasy worlds I've read, especially the feechies! This series is a loose retelling of the Biblical account of King David, but different enough to be surprising. The ending of bk. 3 is one of my favorite sections of a novel, ever.
Recommended for middle grade readers, family read alouds, and anyone who wants a fun adventure rife with beauty, truth, and goodness. Content: mild violence, character death, rude humor.
Live the life that unfolds before you. Love goodness more than you fear evil.

This is a hugely creative and rollicking romp into a fun and imaginative world! I enjoyed the retelling of the David and Goliath story, and appreciated how the author brought elements of it to life I’d not thought about before.
Looking forward to the next book in the series; glad they’re all out so I can binge read accordingly!

We loved this as a family read-aloud. I didn't realize it was an allegory, but the kids (12, 9, 7) and I had fun when we started seeing similarities. We are excited to read the rest!

While the action wasn't focused upon as i originally anticipated, the characters are so lovable and the life lessons are worth cheking out.
