I'm 19 years old and read my first T.A. Barron book in middle school. I've never gotten into any books other than the Merlin series, and the Harry Potter series. Hands down I'd pick this book and Merlin books over Harry potter and I'd really LOVE to see these books all made into movies. My only disappointment with this book is it, in my opinion, was the 5 books of Merlin summed up into one book with different characters. I don't know if it's because I've read his work or not, but it was predictable.
