What a wonderful adventure!
This is the first book I have read from this author but these books have been on my radar for a long time.
This adventure is all about nuwan who one day discovers a hidden very important key in a book at the library. Not realising it’s importance he sets off on a journey to send the key back to the queen before the false key is found. Along the way he has to watch out for the sneaky thieves and happens to make friends with a terrifying bear…
I really loved the adventure and the setting of the story, I felt really immersed from the beginning. I loved the bear and how the book characterises her so the readers love her but also doesn’t shy away from the fact she is a wild animal. The illustrations also add to the story beautifully. I really liked the message of believing in yourself and not comparing yourself to others, to be brave and trust your instincts.
I am no planning to read all the other books!
