I too have had the pleasure of reading this book. The main character has to win the approval of seven fates. He does this in a series of interesting ways. It's difficult not to lose track of time while reading Paul R. Fischer's work. I was first introduced to this author when I picked up "The Ash Staff" at my school library. I didn't put it down 'til I had finished it. TAS was the first book I'd ever read that captured my attention so completely. That experience was repeated with each one of his other books. "The Ash Staff", "The Hawks of Fellheath", and "The Princess and the Thorn" are very good little series for any young adult. "Mont Cant Gold" is separate story and characters all its own, but is just as absorbing as the previous three books. Do your child a favor and give them something a step up from Babysitter's Club or R.L. Stine. Of course, if your child reads at all...Congratulations!
a very intriguing book

i read this book six years ago. one of my teachers lent it to me, and it took me a bit to get into it, but once i did, i couldn't put it down. i can't seem to find it anywhere, no bookstores, no libraries and it's beyond me because it is my favorite book along with catcher in the rye. it's disappointing that no one else i know seems to have read it because i think it is a masterpiece.
