Review
Nels, a boy from the village of Cobblestown, always wanted to be a knight in the kingdom of Averand, but ends up murdered and becomes a ghost. The only person who can see him is Princess Tyra, the heir to the throne. At first, Nels, the ghost, and the princess seem an unlikely pair. Together they must find an ancient needle that can bring Nels back to life. This wonderful original story will appeal to many readers. It is full of adventure, mystery, romance, humor, and metaphors. It is well written with full- bodied characters. The plot moves quickly. I found it difficult to put down. I highly recommend this exciting book for readers looking for a unique rich fantasy.
Overall Book Score: excellent
