Brill of Exitorn Pennant Peggy Downing Sherry Neidigh 9780890847367 Books

This book was recommended by a friend. I bought this book and the sequel for my daughter through Amazon (because it wasn't available in the local book store. She had to read a fantasy book for a school book report and she chose this one. It had interesting characters, a lot of suspense, adventure, and she loved the dinogators. We would definitely recommend this book for ages 8 and up... Can't wait to read the sequel, "The Lost Prince"! We are definitely going to see if there are other books by this author.

This is the first book of a magical, inspiring series. Yet the magic is less about the middle-ages universe that the characters are in as much as their personalities.
A peasant boy, Brill, is plucked from his home to be the personal companion to the irritating, obnoxious Prince Grossder. During his time in the sumptuous but dangerous palace, he meets strong-willed Segra and the reptilian dragator (aquatic dragon) Peachy. They both join a rebellion against the evil king...
It is a shame that this series is mostly out of print. It beats most of the pop fiction of the same reading level.
I read the Exitorn Adventures when I was a kid, and loved them. I've even re-read the series and an adult, and it holds up well. They're extremely easy reads and are appropriate for someone in 4th-6th grade; they have both intriguing plotlines and believable characters. Furthermore, the Christian view with which they're written is, although simplistic, not "shoe-horned" into the story in a forced way. I remember thinking how much better this book was than *The Tower of Geburah* (although let's be quite frank - it's not in the same league as Narnia). Altogether, I'd give the series four stars.

The only problem, however, is that this new edition changed the cover and the title! Instead of the engaging artwork of the previous editions (with bright, primary colors), we now have something that looks like the artwork from some 19th-century kids' book. The title also didn't need to be changed - why break something if it doesn't need fixing? Of course, it's best not to judge a book by its cover, but the old books screamed "Read me!" This edition makes me think I'm going to be picking up some antiquated version of *Jane Eyre* for kids.

I'll stick with my old editions, even if they are a little worn, and will wait and hope that they'll soon bring it back in a package at least as good (if not better) than the previous one.
it was a gift and they loved it
