Format:Hardcover
A collection Haining hjas put together for kids I discovered after getting it, and the introduction of pretty much every story compares it to Harry Potter in some way, which is going to really, really, really annoy you quite likely.
It may work as an introduction to the subject for those it is aimed it though, possibly, although quite likely even they might find it speaking down to them.
