A review by dandelionsteph
Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire by John August

3.0

It didn't use its fantasy elements to the full extent. Some chapters had little, if any, fantasy things happening, and little of it actually took place in the Valley of Fire or in another world, despite the Valley of Fire's prominence in the book title and illustration. It felt like the author wanted to make a biography of his experience in the Boy Scouts in a quirky Colorado town, realized it wouldn't sell well, and added in a few fantasy elements.
