Description WINNER 2019 FEATHERED QUILL Book AWARD - YOUNG READERS CATEGORY "Will instantly draw in any reader who has secretly (or not so secretly) wished for a little more wonder in their world.
Through a fresh voice, genuine characters, and a unique story line, Thomas Wildus and The Book of Sorrows is destined to appeal to fans of Harry Potter and readers of all ages who love the search for magic and adventure..
Even as Thomas uncovers his secret family history, a powerful new enemy emerges, threatening to end his rise to power and destroy everything he holds dear.
But time is short.
With the mysterious Book guiding the way, a strange new world is revealed - a world in which Thomas has a name and destiny far more extraordinary than he ever imagined.
The price is high and the rules are strict, but there\'s no way Thomas can resist the chance to look inside.
At an out-of-the-way shop filled with dusty leather books, a strange little man with gold-flecked eyes offers him an ancient text called The Book of Sorrows.
Now, with his 13th birthday rapidly approaching, Thomas\'s search for magic is about to take a radical and unexpected turn.
Last moments with a parent are memorable, even if you don\'t know that\'s what you\'re having.
He hasn\'t forgotten the blue of his dad\'s eyes either, or the tickle of beard on his cheek as they hugged goodbye.
Seven years have passed, and Thomas hasn\'t forgotten.
No matter what happens, always remember that magic is real.
Parallels will of course be drawn to the Harry Potter series--and rightfully so--but this Book also shares much in common with Madeleine L\'Engle\'s A Wrinkle in Time." - 5 Stars, Red City Review -- Magic is real, Thomas.
