But none of that matters to Stassen. He just wants to learn how to use the great gleaming sword of Ravel.

A sensitive well written story about a boy's quest for knowledge and the strength to overcome his enemies. Great work Jean. We all have the sword, it is just a matter of discovering it and using it wisely.
My kid loves this and so do I. Lisa
