Why read it?

1 author picked The Dangers of Being Brave & True as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

And this one has it all: two unlikely friends who must find a way to work together to save their world, surprising twists and turns, and a rich, vivid world that feels completely real. It reminds me a bit of what I loved about Narnia in a new take.

From Autumn's list on elemental magic and fantasy adventure.
