Collecting Books I through V of the Tales of Dreamside Series "This is a phenomenally imaginative series, with a strong, relatable child protagonist, collected in this handsome, beautifully illustrated edition. It can also be appealingly dark, with eerie fairy-tale motifs . . . overall, an original, entertaining YA fantasy." —Kirkus Reviews "A marvelous epic fantasy that is contemporary and timeless all at once. Keaghan's travels . . . take him into some pretty perilous places, and he gets to know some stalwart companions and encounter some downright scary villains. Batt's creative genius is paired with a gift for writing fast-paced, exciting prose that is accessible both to kids and adults who enjoy fantasy. I found myself enjoying every minute spent following Keaghan as he maneuvers through his alternative world. This is epic fantasy that entertains and fully involves the reader. It's highly recommended." —ReadersFavorite.com
