It had an important morel in my eyes. Adults can’t force children to do things just because they are small, they must be allowed to take the path of their choice. My favourite person was Maia because she was the one who had all the problems in the first place. Maybe if she hadn’t lost her parent's in the first place then Finn and Clovis wouldn’t have met; Finn would have had to go back to Westwood and live a missable life; Clovis would have been put in prison with the rest of the Pilgrim Players. All would have been a disaster. I recommend this book to everyone over the age of nine whatever genre they like!
