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

3.0

Not used to the genre with magic and mystical creatures. Liked the combo with the outdoor survival.

Writing firmly YA level. Not much development. Some over simplifying.

Enjoyed it but not enough to seek out the rest of the series. Recommended it to a young person—does a good job of showing that you can be different and still accepted for who you are.
