The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander
4.0

Taran's adventures continue in another fantastical tale that I believe aims to define heroics for young adults. It is a great story that is an easy read. It has great moments where Taran and the other characters really mature. Big decision have to be made, and the story does a good job of detailing Taran going through them. I feel it also opens up the discussion about gender roles and trying to break through them. Great book and very entertaining.
