This is a book that made it on the banned list based on references to witches and crystal balls and religious undertone. I don't see the harm. I actually saw this book as a lovely story of family love under a sci-fi vision. A book that is smart, full of imagination, and hope building.
The cast of characters were quite the variety .. humans, aliens, and immortal beings. Each playing distinct roles that gave intrigue and flow to the story. Each finding place in the adventure of good vs evil.
A fanciful story of perseverance, courage, and kinship. I wouldn't mind putting this book on my bookshelf.
