Reviews

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book four in the Battle Boy series and another good historical time travel story. The stories are short and to the point, you should not expect a lot of character development, but based on who it is written for, it is written at the right level and has the right amount of action and is quite well done for what it is. Not high brow literature but it would never call itself that.
