Amos just wanted to help the dying mermaid, but when she gives him a mask and a quest, he gets a lot more than he bargained for...
Delacorte Press for Young Readers published this book in February and sent me a copy for review (thank you). This edition was translated by Y. Maudet, and is the first in this twelve book series. It's written for ages 8-12.
Four masks were endowed with elemental powers and Amos holds one. He doesn't understand what he holds, but he knows the mermaid gave him a task and he tries to accomplish it.
My favorite part of this story is when Amos meet Beorf, who is a humanimal. He can shapeshift into a bear. And having Medusa in the story makes it more interesting, too.
This is a good fantasy and action tale for young ones. It will get their imagination flowing.
Visit your local bookstore for a copy and let your child take a walk on the wild side...
Happy reading!
