This is a fun re-imagining of Taro, the legendary hero of Japan. Spruell takes three stories of Taro, and weaves them into one engrossing tale. Some of the people are real, some are not, the magic is delightful. If you know nothing of Japanese history, or legends, this book will be a fun introduction (just don’t take it as gospel).
I was surprised at how well the marvelous illustrations by Miya Outlaw showed up on my phone! (Yes, I tend to read books on my phone.) They added a great deal to an otherwise totally engaging story. (Can something be more than total?)
A martial arts book, a delightful story, a one-sit read. Well done!!
