A power that heals and is evil at the same time would be an exciting read. Congratulations on your BOTD.

The book seems perfect for me. A book, full of suspense with the humour and family values, deserves a try. I will surely consider this book for reading. Thanks for this great review.

The premise of this book seems really interesting and unique, although it's a shame that there are so many minor errors that could've been prevented with more thorough proofreading. Thanks for the great review!

The story seems fascinating. However, I can't connect the title with the summary provided. The cover seems a bit odd tho. I think I would've liked it more of tit was like a full-on kids' fantasy novel

I wonder what the magician’s box will bring to Mick’s life. Will it bring something good or something evil? I’m intrigued. Congrats on BOTD!

Latest Review: Wilderness Cry by Hilary L Hunt M.D.

Post by Benggirl721 »

The protagonist's character is a go-getter. He makes it a point that whatever he does, he accomplishes it with pleasure. Robins' life on the farm is thrilling; doing farm chores, collecting boxes, and finding himself in a magical place. This is a joyful read.
Reading is a journey to the world.

The fact that the protagonist has a hobby of collecting boxes is enough to intrigue or captivate the readers. I wonder why the main character has such an odd but not too extraordinary hobby? Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I do enjoy a good adventure book, but the lack of rigorous editing is a deal-breaker for me. Still, thanks for the review!

Consistency is a virtue for greatness. Mick displayed this in this book. It is worth emulating.
