Why read it?

1 author picked Chronicles of the Hidden Realms as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Being a huge Chronicles of Narnia fan, I was taken in by Leah’s storytelling.

This is a middle-grade novel but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it brought me back to the time I read Narnia. Fighting evil, perseverance, overcoming trials, battling the darkness, and maintaining the hero’s resolve. This is what attracted me to this book. It’s a keeper and looking forward to the next adventure.
