Product Description
Imagination. Creativity. Art. All of these were alien concepts to science-minded thirteen-year-old Steve. So his parents sent Steve away from his boring suburban home of Beacon Pines to spend a fun-filled summer in the mid-Michigan town of River City with his Uncle Shameless. It would be a summer neither of them would ever forget. On what should have been a normal canoe trip down the Grand River, Steve and Uncle Shameless are instead whisked away to the magical -and wacky- fantasy world of Eyri. There, Steve discovers he is part of a prophecy to defeat the wicked Hawk-King and is destined to bring peace back to the zany world filled with humans, animal-people, and other fantastic creatures. Can a skinny kid from the suburbs make it in the rough and tumble fantasy world? Will Steve learn the importance of imagination? Why IS his uncle called Shameless? Find out in this madcap fantasy satire that blends thrilling action, comedy, and more oddball characters than your last family reunion.

Great read for ages 13 - 300 well... you know what I mean.. June 1, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
As a fan of all humorous fiction and humorous fantasy in particular I just had to give this book a try.
I am glad I did! Without any spoilers or giving away too many of the funny bits I have to say that the characters are wonderful, believable (for a fantasy story anyway...) and well written.
The humor doesnt get in the way of the story as it can in some attempts at this genre and you will find yourself smiling, laughing and nodding all the way through. (Dont ask about the ducks...)
This book is aimed at younger readers (teens) but anyone will enjoy it. I can't wait for a sequel so I can visit this world again.
Do yourself a favor and check this one out!
-John
