Wow, this book sounds absolutely incredible! I would love the read the whole thing. As a fellow nerd, I felt this first look in my heart. I think I'm going to love this one. I felt the pain of sunny in our first look. Even in middle school it had been hard for him as I well know. There arent many others who can say that they enjoyed magic and paladin at such a young age, but I get it. Even now as an adult I am constantly ridiculed for liking things that no adult should like, such as young adult novels. But that will never stop me and I hope it doesnt stop sunny either. I personally believe we all need to be who we are and If we dont, we are giving into society around us that is always trying to force us to change. I really think that this book, while I have a feeling will have it's own silliness, will have a lot of valuable lessons that anyone of any age can learn!
