Having read the first two books, I didn't want to start this one --- only because I knew when I finished it, it would be a long wait until the next in the series. Well, I couldn't resist and just like the previous two, Kit Berry's descriptive talent was brilliant. I was in Stonewylde with all the characters - move over Harry Potter, this would make a great film. Really looking forward to the continuing story of Stonewylde and its habitants - what will Yul and Slyvie do next? Thank you Kit Berry for such a riveting read.
