(721) Jack Flint and the Dark Ways by Joe Donnelly

This is a book my friend bought, hoping that her fifteen year old son would read it. Instead I read it first.

It is like a mini version of  The Lord of the Rings. A lot less complex, more readable for younger readers. It talks of time travelling. Individuals were born to possess the ability to time travel to periods of history in different lands to fight evil. Such individuals are called journeymen.

If boys like Narnia, then they would probably like this series. We have Jack Flint and the Redthorn Sword and Jack and the Spellbinder's Curse. I have not read any of the Narnia books for at least six years now. But I seemed to recall that the language of Jack Flint is a little more difficult than that of Narnia.
