Descripción

"In every nook and cranny, high and low, they sought for him...he had vanished as a star vanishes when it drops from its place in the sky." From the author of such children's classics as The Secret Garden and A Little Princess comes this enchanting story of a young boy discovering his true destiny. Twelve-year-old Marco knows he is being trained for something, but he isn't sure what. All his life he has traveled with his father in secrecy, learning many languages and the ways of a gentleman, but forbidden to speak about their country of origin, Samavia. Samavia has been fraught with war for the last five hundred years, ever since the prince mysteriously disappeared. But now, there is hope that peace may come at last, as it has been rumored that a descendant of the lost prince may have been found. And Marco is about to take on a secret quest that will change everything for his family and his country.

One of my favourite classical children's books. I grew up watching the 1993 film with Maggie Smith and read the book much later. I have read it at least twice. It is definitely one of those books I will enjoy coming back to later on.

This was delightful and far from perfect.

This is definitely a classic. There are a lot of words I didn't understand but I am so glad. I thought of the world the edition where they have the dictionary in the back for a lot of those words and phrases that might not be so common. The book itself was very good and well-written but for some reason I just couldn't really get into it. I just don't think this book was overall something that I would really only read. This is a book I definitely like if you gave it to me out of the school so I'm about to read it for that reasoning. That reason alone like I did not really like this and it's really upsetting cuz I really wanted to enjoy this book but I just couldn't get into it unfortunately.
