What a fun adventure! My 15 year old enjoyed it almost as much as my kinder age relatives.
The chapters are short enough for a new reader to chapter books to feel successful and the
content is fun enough to appeal to all ages.
Warning: if you don’t have small children to read this book to at bedtime,
it may induce the desire to share it with all of the youngsters in your life.

Rebecca J. Carlson lives on the North Shore of Oahu with her husband,
two youngest sons, one rabbit, one turtle, four birds,
and over a thousand pounds of books (she knows because she had to ship
those books across the Pacific when she moved to Hawaii). When she isn't
reading or writing, you'll find her teaching college physics, hiking in
the Ko'olau mountains, or playing harp in her Celtic folk band.
When her son told her he wanted a story about a magic sword for his 9th
birthday, Rebecca J. Carlson wrote what became "Barley & Rye: The Adventure
of Lost Castle." With traditional fairy tale elements woven together into a
whole new adventure, the story of brave Barley and his clever brother Rye
will delight fairy tale lovers of all ages.
