Synopsis

Looking for a fast-paced adventure?

One afternoon, Andrew Adler's average 12-year old life changes forever. He is thrust into a world of adventure and fantasy when his loyal dog Ralph begins to talk and he learns that his dad is in danger. Who are the sinister race of creatures that kidnapped Andrew's dad? Why do they grow the curious herb, Black Fire? And how can Andrew and Ralph stop the disastrous – and sometimes funny – effect Black Fire is having on the human population? With the clever Ralph as his companion, Andrew discovers the vast and mysterious underground world of Vellistrian, the powerful and ancient race of the Pisal and the most fearsome adversary of all. Only then does he recognize true courage within himself. This coming of age story and the first of an Australian-based series will appeal to readers who enjoy Harry Potter, How to Train your Dragon and the various stories of Neil Gaiman.

Since the author is Australian, it gives the book a unique flavor, adding to the interest. This is a fun, age-appropriate book for kids 8-12. It is filled with action, an interesting plot, a realistic main character, and plenty of bad guys. It held my interest from beginning to end. The ending keeps the reader wondering until the very last lines--a good wrap-up, leaving no dangling ends. If you love it and want more, there is another book with more adventures. It is a clean book for your kids. – Book Maven
