Customer Reviews

scary and exciting....

My son loves these books! They are so exciting he can't put them down, and reads them over a span of just a couple of days. He says that this particular book was one of the very best of all the Trailblazers. In his own words..."I liked this book because of the adventure throughout, starting right on the first page. It was kind of scary because of the adventures of the main character,who is an African native boy of fourteen. At the beginning, he retells the story of what happened in his life since the age of seven. That got me really excited about finishing the story.Throughout the whole book, the main character goes through several changes in his life, and in the end it turned out great." My son would love to tell you the whole story, but he wouldn't want to spoil it ....every boy should read this book!
