Reviews! Reviews!

Twig has lived in the same small town since she was little. She's pretty much invisible, so no one pays any attention to her. Kids know Twig won't come to their birthday parties, nor will she invite them to her house, so it's hard for her to build friendships.

QUESTION: Why does Twig's mother forbid her from spending time with her next door neighbor, Julia?

QUESTION: Who must Firedrake, Sorrell and Ben beware of on their journey?

While watching the meteor shower Marten can't help but get frustrated with his younger brother, Aldrin. How could he bring one of Marten's valuable collector's items on the trip without asking? When the toy breaks Marten wishes his brother away... READ MORE!


QUESTION: Who comes to help Marten rescue his brother?
