Yang Gao ：
If you love fantasy and you’re a magic enthusiast, you’ll love the book Five Kingdoms by Brandon Mull. The series Five Kingdoms is about a boy named Cole who got trapped in an in-between place. An alternate dimension which lies between wakefulness and dreaming, reality and imagination, life and death. The great world building, plot, humor, creativity, and imagination created an atmosphere where you could feel like you’re in the story alongside the characters. I would recommend this for kids that are 8 or older and Five Kingdoms is available from most bookstores as well as amazon and more. I would definitely recommend this amazing book!
"You're the boy who caused the commotion?" His clearly enunciated words made him seem professorial.Or maybe it was the slightly battered top hat in his hand.
"Yeah,"Cole replied.
“Any physical hadicaps? Chronic illnesses?”
"I'm healthy. A little hungry."
"We feed them twice what most slaves get,"Ansel inserted.
"They're in prime condition,fresh from a prospersous world."
The men nodded, eyes still on Cole."How well do you handle heights?"
Cole wondered whether he should lie. Maybe a fear of heights would disqualify him from the dangerous work Ansel had mentioned. But the buyer looked and acted nice,which was more than Cole could say for the slavers. He decided to see where honesty would lead him. "I'm not scared of heights."
The man shifted his stance. "How do you feel when standing near a high brink?"
"Doesn"t bother me," Cole said."Never has."
The man turned to Ansel. "Easy as that. I'll take him."
