This is a story for children (and grownups) who love the Dangerous Book for Boys. It melds fun outdoor activities like camping, sledding, and orienteering with fantasy magic from the wood that borders our world and another. Charming and well-written, while the best time to read a story like this is as a kid, the second best time is right now.

A fun, fantasy-laden mountain adventure story for young readers that doesn't speak down to them. I picked up this book to read with my ten year old and couldn't put it down myself.

* I would give this book 3.75 stars for review*

I found this book to be the prefect mix between adventure, magic and nature adventure. I feel in love with the worlds that was created. I really loved the main character and also the the trio characters that was created. I thought the concepts of the scouts was so fun to read but also a nice balance between fantasy and realistic elements. I thought the Arlo WAS such a fun lead and this book just made me smile. I thought it was super fast pace novel!! I really can't wait for book 2!

I loved this book a lot. It had just the right amount of adventure, excitement and magic in it. I can highly recommend it.
