This is my first time reading this series. For the
first one it was a great back story. I liked it book, and seeing its
children's literature it was an amazingly fast read. When i first
started it, I was warned of the Christian undertones, and I have to
agree reading it knowing that I can definietly see them. It's not a bad
thing at all, it teaches the children morals that now a days, in my
opinion, children are lacking.
