I enjoyed this book immensely. The characters were relatable and memorable, the pace was exactly right (consistently not lagging and not overwhelming either, but the perfect balance of epic adventure and life's meaningful moments), and there was nothing parents would find questionable. The dialogue was engaging and flowed well, and I found Audra an interesting, loyal, and clever companion to the secretive Lukas and gruff old Ben. Through her endeavors comes the reality of what people went through to keep books alive. Words really are power, and Nilsen does an excellent job of unveiling one of the lesser-known struggles in history. Recommended for any age.
