The Lakeside Kids and the Magical Metamorphoses: Book One of the Lakeside Adventures by Ryan Ringdahl

5.0

Ringdahl brings the magical realm into our modern lives with his debut novel. Even though none of us are (publicly) capable of magical properties, it was easy to feel what each character was going through.

We’ve all had to make choices that go against our families wishes. We’ve all faced obstacles that are bigger than ourselves. It’s what we do with our choices that counts. And that’s exactly what Ringdahl brings to the table.

This is more than a coming of age story. It’s more than a young adult novel about magical powers (and how the government decides to handle it). It’s a story that demands your attention and asks your stance about the tough questions in life.
