I think that Emrys was interesting because he was so unsure one minute and so determined the next. He was unsure about giving away his pendant, and then he decided he had to do it so he could save his friend. I thought this was a great book because it had so much action, you never knew what to expect next. My favorite part was when Emrys found a bird that he named Trouble fighting some giant rats that were on his side of the river. This part was so descriptive that I could see it happening in my mind.
I recommend this book to people who like adventure. It is probably more for older children. I do not think that anyone younger than nine years old would like it as much as I did.
