Why read it?

1 author picked The Girl & the Galdurian as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Tim Probet has crafted a touching and heartfelt tale of overcoming fear and anxiety. He’s an author whose sensibilities are similar to my own and I immediately connected with it.  

A new volume is due soon and I highly recommend this to anyone, both kids and adults, who love epic adventures in fantastical worlds.
