1 post | 1 read
Deep in the heart of an enchanted forest, a small village of children lives unaffected by the passage of time thanks to a powerful stone that protects them from it. But when the stone is shattered and a thief runs off with one of the shards, four of the children must set out at once in search of the missing shard before their village is swallowed up by time and everybody in it dies. Armed with four crystals with special powers, the children bravely make their way through the dangerous forest to hunt down the thief, making friends and enemies along the way and encountering one strange creature after another.

2.5 ⭐ This book needs to find itself. There seems to be too many ideas thrown on the page with a thought to see what sticks. The reader is in a land where time has stood still. There was a crystal that keep the moon and time from moving on. However the crystal has broken and a shard is missing. Sound familiar? Yeah I thought so too. I wish this was a homage to the Dark Crystal, but except for the basic concept it is nothing like it.

LibrarianRyan Half way through group of children are sent on a quest to find the shard. They are excited to finally grow up, but at the same time, they have been cautioned to not grow up too fast. It‘s a slough to keep track of this story. It‘s not even saved by the art. It‘s nice but seems old. Makes one think of Prince Valliant meets Kirby. 2y
