Sander's move to the country brings surprising changes to his young life. Their new/old Dutch farmhouse has some unusual inhabitants. His parents squabble. His sister, who used to be his ally, abandons him to become an obnoxious teenager. The woods surrounding his new home, however, provide a strange refuge. There, he discovers a fairy world of dwarfs, pirates, wandering ghosts, and a ruthless Lord of Dunderburg Mountain, as an old legend continues to unfold. With the help of a shy dwarf named Alfar and Mini, an Algonquin girl steeped in the lore of the region, Sander embarks on a magical, swashbuckling adventure where only he can tip the balance in a world struggling between good and evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for fans of CS Lewis and Lloyd Alexander!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2016
I grew up reading Narnia and Prydain books, and discovered Harry Potter as an adult. I asked to review this book partially to have something to listen to with my children. It didnt disappoint. It had that magical quality I remember from Lewis and Alexanders writing, a feeling of being in another place and time. With some really fun characters, a villain that was, well, villainous without being too scary for kids, and a plot that weaves a magical swashbuckling adventure, it is a sure hit with parents and children alike.
The Author self narrated, and you can tell this was a labor of love for him. He was careful to give each character a life of their own, making them come alive in the listeners imagination. Any fan of C.S. Lewis or Lloyd Alexander should enjoy this book.

I was given a copy of this book at no charge by the author in exchange for an honest review through Audiobook Boom.
