5.0 out of 5 stars One of my first (and best) reads, February 28, 2003

This review is from: Odyssey from River Bend (Hardcover)

I read this book back in third grade. I remember that it was one of the first book that I found gripping from the very beggining! The premise is a group of forest animals, from a half-civilized society, who go on an epic quest to discover the truth about, and the knowledge of, the mysterious Ancients Who Were And Are No More. I won't say anything more, as I don't want to spoil it - but I will say that it was a great book, and that I loved it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Evolving animals explore a future world., March 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Odyssey from River Bend (Hardcover)

This is a fun and entertaining fantasy adventure. It concerns a world removed from our own by a considerable time - enough so that some animals are evolving their own cultures, tools, and towns. Join a group of young characters out to explore the world and solve the mysteries of the "ancients" that had come before. The future has many dangers, and our brave group will have to face all that mother nature, fellow animals, and their own fears can throw against them. The characters are beleivable and the world is interesting. The values of friendship, perserverance, and courage are upheld throughout. I first read it in third grade, but love it still.

I have read this book many times and even as an adult I still love this book. It shows how animals can work together if they put their minds to it. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves animals.
