Owen Reeder has been told that he's nothing special all his life. He has always believed his only gift is his ability to devour books, but now he finds himself in a battle that will affect not only his world, but also a mysterious place called the Lowlands.
Throughout his search for the King's Son, Owen has been eager to see who will be the one to unite the Highlands and Lowlands. Once Owen discovers his identity, will the Son be ready for the challenge? Will he be prepared to battle the Dragon and win? Recommended for ages 10 to 14.
"Nothing special" is the best way to describe Owen Reeder--at least thats what hes been told all his life. When a stranger visits his fathers bookstore, Owens ordinary life spirals out of control and right into a world he didnt even know existed. Owen believes the only gift he possesses is his ability to devour books, but he is about to be forced into a battle that will affect two worlds: his and the unknown world of the Lowlands. Dont miss the exciting conclusion to the Wormling series (Book 5, The Authors Blood).

I read this in order to check on what my son was reading. It was recommended Summer Reading by Focus on the Family. This series is very much a page-turner, and has a lot of Biblical parallels. The hero is very likable and the evil is clearly portrayed as such. I couldn't put it down, the story gripped me so much. Lots of plot twists and surprises, (though grownups might be able to see through some of them). Book # 4 reveals more secrets and keeps you coming back for more; some battle descriptions, but nothing too gory. Highly recommended for ages 9-14 or so. Younger kids might get scared of some of the characters.

The Minions of time is awesome!It was pretty cool that Mordeci actually started following the King!It just goes to show you the extent of God's forgiveness and that once we ask for His forgiveness we need to forgive ourselves to and just let it go knowing that your forgiven.
The one part I did not like was Connies friend who can tell the future because she was pretty much right about Connies future. It was good that Connie didn't believe her.
Anyways I give it two thumbs up!!!
