I just finished reading this to my kids tonight. My 7 year old son and 10 year old daughter couldn't get enough, they always wanted more than the two chapters a night we would read. My 5 year old wasn't too interested and my 12 year old pretended not to care, but he would listen when he was around and would always ask what happened when he missed a night, I know he enjoyed it as well. I liked reading it out load and wish we could have wholesome stories like this in kids movies.
The book is well written and enjoyable for everyone, the artwork is great and really adds to the story. It can be a touch on the scarry side, but overcoming fear is the whole premise of the book, and I feel the author did a great job of bringing in scary elements without overdoing it. If you're thinking about buying this book, stop thinking and just buy it already, you won't regret it.

| For every true act of leadership, there is an equal and monstrous act of sabotage. | This book is about becoming a well-read man. Learn how to read a book. | Join Captain Crispin and his merry band of pirate frogs in search of the famed lightning blade! | The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. | Godly marriages proceed from obedient hearts, and the greatest desire of an obedient heart is the glory of God. | A children's book about the courage to be different. When danger comes, who will you be? |

About the author
Wild Romp of A Tale with A Sweet Human Touch - Should be a Disney Movie!
This wonderful tale was devoured by my 9 year old niece and 11 year old nephew! They got tired of waiting for their dad to read it to them (it has so many fun words and was written to be read aloud, according to the author) so one of them started reading, then the other took it and started it - this began a week of them stealing it from each other and hiding to read it. Their mom found one of them under her bed reading with a flashlight! And she had to put it up until they got their school work done (during the pandemic). I had sent them the book, so loved hearing this report! Since then, I have given it as a gift to many family and friends with little ones. I highly recommend it for anyone with kids. They will love Ollie and Willoughby and Viggo and all the woodland creatures who help Ollie on his quest to thwart the Glorch and turn himself back into a boy - all the while conquering his paralyzing fears. A book you and your children will enjoy and treasure! I bet Disney makes it into a movie - would be perfect!

What a fun, fast-paced adventure story. It's a page-turner, definitely written for all ages, and will hold the attention span of kids. I'll recommend this book far and wide!
My favorite quote from the book: "'I'm not brave. I'm scared all the time,' Ollie said. 'Well, one does not negate the other. All brave acts are done in the midst of fear,' said the owl. 'Without fear, there is no bravery" (p. 119).
