content: I first read this story from my local library about ten years ago. I loved the story so much that at least once a year I would re-checkout the book so I could enter the world of Moloquin once again. Then just a month ago, I went to check it out again, and I found that my library had discarded my favorite book! I immediately got online and bought the book for myself! It will become a classic in time. For those who like historical fiction, this author is the very best!
