Why read it?
1 author picked From Brick & Darkness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I gave a standing ovation to this lesson in being careful about what one wishes for and facing the consequences when one’s wishes come true in a heart-pounding fight of good versus evil. This gem is one of the most imaginative and descriptively written tales I ever read.
