Review:

The story's fast pace, menacing bad guys, and flashes of humor make this a good choice for reluctant readers, while the underlying message about the power of legends provides a unifying element and gives strong appeal for fantasy fans. --School Library Journal

Broad themes related to the nature of personal choice, the need for fellowship based on love and trust, and sharing knowledge with one's peers are presented compellingly and with swift grafting to the animal adventure story. --Booklist

The fantasy's strong believability and fascinating plot make this series a must-read for fantasy-lovers. --Children's Literature
