I loved it! A little boy, who has read every book in his small village, sets off on his first adventurer's journey. What makes this story different is its core. There's a lot of heart here. Consequences are real and weigh heavily on all the characters, but there's a message of forgiveness too.

Outside of Timo, each character design is fun and magical. I enjoyed this journey from beginning to end. Usually, kid adventurers aren't the most level-headed, but Timo, though naive, is smart and kind-hearted.

5/5 stars ( )

To start off, I was reading a galley and it was all black and white. I hope they put it out in full color from the beginning. Timo has run out of things to read in the entire village. So now he must go on an adventure to find new stories, or become the story himself. Timo starts off naive and grows into someone who thinks things through and questions perceptions. It is a lesson many people today need to see to be reminded that things can be worked out, if someone takes the lead and gives everyone a chance.
