Another take on the quest for treasure, good vs. evil genre of children’s books.  The illustrations are in a  “video game” style with different levels to survive and unusual terrains to traverse.  The multitude of little characters and side humor jokes keeps the book interesting in spite of the rather usual story line.  Heroes such as a Unicorn and a Gnome add to its appeal for children.  A silly reason for the theft–the Old Oak stole the Mystical Crystals of Life to buy a speedboat–lessen the depth, therefore the interest in the story.  It is an okay book for a possible one or two time read, not destined to be the long-held treasured favorite, read every night book.
