My Comments
So good! This is one of those series that I can't wait to find time to sit down and read. The audio is also excellent. It is totally middle school appropriate, not too difficult a reading level, and a page turner. I would recommend this to fans of J.K Rowling, Rick Riordan, The Last Apprentice by Delaney, and another favorite of mine and my students...Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan.
