Little White Hands Book Review
Thank you to Mark Cushen for providing me with a copy of this book! I voluntarily leave this review!
Over the roaring flame of the hearth and bubbling food pots in the palace kitchen, Garlan dreams of becoming a knight. Despite the harsh words of others, he continues to train with his wooden sword, unwilling to give up his dream. When an injured man stumbles into town warning of future disaster at the hands of Winter, Garlan is unknowingly caught up in a quest. Lord Winter, sealed away after the war between seasons, seeks to return and plunge the world into a forever winter. Standing between him and success is Garlan.
What can one kitchen boy do to protect the world? Everything within his power to make sure those he loves are safe. Garlan is kind and has a big heart, but his journey will be riddled with challenges and hardship. There are times when the odds will be stacked against him allowing guilt and self-doubt to creep in. But the friends he meets along the way will stand by his side when able, and encourage him to continue.
As Garlan and his friends forge their paths forward, readers will be entertained by the creative settings and encounters. From meeting small fae and their colorful forest guardians to fighting those who would turn Garlan into stew, there are so many delightful and startling experiences in store.
Little White Hands is a wonderful novel for mid-grade readers interested in adventure and fantasy settings. The conflicts throughout the book are exciting and tailored for a younger audience, yet adults will also find this a joy to read. Not to mention the themes of friendship and never giving up resonate within the writing.
