The Lost Years of Merlin, by T.A. Barron

The following review was written by NW, from the 6th grade reading class:

If you read this book, you will find that it will be worth you time. It describes the journeys and adventures of a young boy who goes on a quest do discover his place in the world. Throughout the book Merlin makes friends and enemies alike, with detailed interactions between the characters in every encounter. After a long journey, Merlin discovers his past, and his future- to become one of the greatest wizards of all time and pass on his knowledge to a famous king in the future.

Though the start was slow and laborious, when I got into the exciting parts I started reading at a rate of about 10 pages per second. When the book was over I went right to the library to get the next one. I very much recommend this book to anyone who can appreciate a book that unravels a magical but lifelike tale from the first page to the last.
