Review
This second installment is even stronger than the first. Foon continues to weave a compelling tale with strongly drawn characters. (Mary Ann Darby VOYA )

Disturbing futuristic world... Even those who are not fans of the fantasy genre may still find themselves captivated by the vivid imagery of the world Foon has created. (Evette Berry Resource Links )

Product Description
Praise for The Dirt Eaters, the first book in The Longlight Legacy: "This outstanding first title in a trilogy should have readers eagerly anticipating the next..." - * School Library Journal, starred review

Through the lens of a dramatic, futuristic saga, Freewalker continues the stunning look at loss and revenge that began with The Dirt Eaters.

In this highly suspenseful second novel in The Longlight Legacy, one year has passed since Roan, Alandra and the children escaped from the Brothers. Now, in the haven they call Newlight, Alandra has begun traveling the Dreamfield with the children, exploring their potential. But when the children mysteriously fall into a life-threatening coma, Roan and Lumpy set off to find a cure. The remedy may lie in the hands of Roan's lost sister, Stowe. But Stowe, now the icon of the City, has become obsessed with her growing powers -- powers that threaten to overwhelm and transform her into a destructive, vindictive force.

Author Dennis Foon displays once again his great originality and unstoppable imagination. Freewalker is powerful and fast paced, with unexpected twists that await the reader with every turn of the page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cost me a good nights sleep, January 27, 2005

By	John Carlton "(franco)" (Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Freewalker (The Longlight Legacy) (Hardcover)

While this book is being marketed to young adults, it is an excellent book for all levels. The intensity grabs you from the beginning and keeps the pages turning well into the night. The characters and plot line could be developed a little more, but there is enough for you to get a feeling for the characters in the story.

The excellence of this book is the it leaves you wanting more. I would recommend for every fantasy fan except that need complicated plots and characters. However, this is an excellent bridge book for teens, especially those that enjoy the Harry Potter series. This one is different, but will receive the same reaction from students.
