My eldest is 8 years old. When he chose this book given as a gift in my library, I was a little worried by the cover ... and I decided to read it myself to see what it is .... especially as My son ("second grade" end = CE1) has devoured! He now wants the whole series! YES, I RECOMMENDS this book. I also read volume 2, and I begin the third, both to share the readings of my son, and because it distracts me well! It is located in a fantasy context (the mountains of the rain and night, plains ..) but you can make the connection with known landscapes (the great plains of North America, and Stonehenge standing stones. ..). Will the young hero is courageous, dexterous, jealous ... we find horrible beasts bloodcurdling. The dialogues are successful.
