Publisher's summary

Thomas Wildus and the Book of Sorrows

"If your students love the likes of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, they are sure to be equally obsessed with The Book of Sorrows Series!" (Lit with Lyns)

"Magic is real, Thomas. No matter what happens, always remember that magic is real."

Seven years have passed, and Thomas hasn't forgotten. He hasn't forgotten the blue of his dad's eyes either, or the tickle of beard on his cheek as they hugged goodbye for the very last time.

Now, with his 13th birthday rapidly approaching, Thomas' search for magic is about to take a radical and unexpected turn. At an out-of-the-way shop filled with dusty leather books, a strange little man with gold-flecked eyes offers him an ancient text called The Book of Sorrows. The price is high and the rules are strict, but there's no way Thomas can resist the chance to look inside.

With the mysterious book guiding the way, a strange new world is revealed - a world in which Thomas has a name and destiny far more extraordinary than he ever imagined. But time is short. Even as Thomas uncovers his secret family history, a powerful new enemy emerges, threatening to end his rise to power and destroy everything he holds dear.

Original Storyline, good character development.

I was reading this book and somehow didn't quite finish so time passed... Anyway, I started relistening to young Wildus at book's beginning. It could be my state of mind, a change in seasons, or whatever, I found myself liking this recording of story even more. I had to slow the narration speed down a bit during initial portion of story and that seemed to helped too. Highly recommend for family listening, or indidivualy - young boys/girls, on up to "young" old Aunties, Nanas , and Popsies.
