This series is about travelers who go around to different territories and different worlds to help the people that live there from a terrible crisis that's about to happen or is already happening.

The Milago people decide to fight for their freedom. But the Bedoowan people was strong in numbers and they were especially trained to be able to fight. So the Milago people decide to win this war by using these explosive powder called tak. It can be formed into a ball and with small impact, it will explode. The Milago found this place when they mined it from underground. They came up with the plan that they hope they could use to blow up all of the Bedoowan people. They filled up a cart full of tak and planned to blow the whole stadium up where the people gathered. But Uncle Press (bobby's close friend) and Bobby find a way to stop this and it works. But the people of Milago still wants to fight and the war becomes a hand to hand combat between the two people.

The two tribes need to work together to survive and everything turns out to be great.

Pendragon

2 1/2 hours read
P. 1-106

I started this book because this book was recommended to me according to my taste. I really enjoy it and I recommend this book to everyone!

This is a fantasy book. I like books that has magic and adventure in them. This is one of those books! It starts out as a boy that has a regular life that suddenly gets his whole life switched around. Throughout the book, he writes to his friend using a magic portal. That's the only way his friend and his other friend know what's going on to him. Each chapter keeps on alternating between those 2 situations. The boy is having adventures, while his friends are trying to find out what they can do to try to save them.

I say, if you like to fantasy books, this book is the one to read!
The author let's the scene go back and forth, each having it's own adventures and I predict that the two stories will connect and unite together.
