Tommy, a teenager, and his grandfather want to keep magic from running out and being replaced by newer technology. When his grandfather is captured, Tommy and his friend, Naomi, must rescue him using a magical staff. On his adventure he must defeat lots of creatures, protect the staff from people who want to destroy it, and rescue his grandfather.
Opinion:
I really liked the book! The magic in the book was my favorite part. I loved the magical powers that Tommy learned - they were really cool! My favorite character was Naomi because she is very determined and works really hard. The book started a little slow but after a few chapters it was more fast-paced and exciting. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy and suspense.
Explain your content rating:
Some parts were suspenseful so it might be scary for some kids. In the book Tommy has to fight monsters. During one of these fights, Tommy's friend, Naomi, was hurt. During these fights I was worried that he would get hurt too. Cain, the master illusionist, created some frightening illusions in the story. One of these illusions made it look like Tommy was on fire.
