One of the best books I have ever read. It's perfectly blended with excitement and magic and definitely went way beyond my expectations. It's basically like a modern fairytale. Would highly recommend it.

Peter Nimble is off on a wild adventure through the air and over seas, and he's doing it all blindfolded. His crazy journey shows us that sometimes it's what you can't see that matters.

This is straight up quest-driven fantasy fare, my friends, with good old-fashioned stalwart companions, magic, baddies, and the fate of the world in the balance. And while not every tie might be tied off and folks can quibble with a detail…

Exciting, thrillling, wondersome, imaginative.
There was one part to the story that was cool, a nice transition but it was a kind of "mystery" for a while although it was very predictable (to me.)
It was good though.…
