Chosen (The Lost Books Book 1)

From Booklist Large pages and lush coloring help the reader fall into the fantastic medieval scenery, costuming, and plot of this first volume in the Lost Books graphic novel series. Johnis, a 16-year-old, is the unwilling and unwanted companion of several other youths on a quest, their people threatened by another tribe calledxa0the Horde. Aided by cute white bunny-bat critters and threatened by red-eyed black variations, the group ventures into desert, cave, and underwater locales, and endures inclement weather, deprivation, and troubled group dynamics. An occasional 21st-century idiom and a surprise appearance by the author help keep the tone light. Grades 8-10. --Francisca Goldsmith --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.
