There is some beautiful imagery in this book - especially at the beginning. The descriptions are captivating. Some of the references and names are great introductions for young readers to classic concepts (Arthur removes the sword from the stone; a guy who works w/ mirrors is named Miro, etc.) But near the middle it got a bit tiresome. I also find it irritating that it isn't a complete story - what should have been one book is divided into two. I probably would have given it 4 stars except for that.

Vou supor que gostei deste livro visto que o li em menos de 24 horas num dia de Dezembro em 2006. Mas tirando umas imagens desconectas, não me recordo muito da história ou das personagens.

it's a funny one. depois do filme e de ter lido o último livro desta 'saga' no mínimo 3x na minha infância, decidi que estava na altura de lê-los a todos. gostei bastante, é uma leitura simples e rápida. adoro o Betameche

If this name sounds familiar it may be because Besson is more famous for his movies which include The Fifth Element and La Femme Nikita. This is Besson's first novel for young people and the first in a series of books on Arthur's adventures. Arthur is a ten-year-old boy living with his grandmother. His grandfather disappeared four years earlier and now a greedy developer is trying to take the family farm. Arthur heads out to find his grandfather and save the family farm. A cute story, fantasy lovers of all ages will find it enjoyable.
