As I read through the description of this book, it kept reminding me of Alice in Wonderland and the wizard of Oz. I love books like these and maybe you will too. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

A great review of "Riley Youngblood and the Passport to Santalamanchia" by Brian Martindale, tells us that this is an edit of a kindle version which the reviewer has now read in text. I love that the name reminds me of a phrase like, Really Young Blood because children are the future custodians of the earth. This sci-fantasy story has captivating dialogue and non-stop adventure. Animals and insects are also characters in this story and that seems quite intriguing to me. Congratulations, this sounds like a worthwhile read!

A fantasy book is always a distraction I openly welcome to escape the reality of life sometimes. This reviewer really portrayed the story through this review statistically. It encouraged me to read this story a lot. Congrats on BOTD!

I find the storyline quite compelling. I would love to dig more into the book and find out what help the ancient spirits needed, what was the responsibility on Riley's shoulders, and how those are related to his journey to Santalamanchia.

There has to be a reason for Riley to be the chosen one by the spirits, especially when there's more qualified people out there. I'm a sucker for adventurous books that involves magic, so I'm definitely going to get this book. Congrats to the author for receiving the honor of BOTD.
