This is Great! I get to read a new Geron story, and the comments of the usual mischief makers here. I agree with @Ivor Slipper that this sounds like a longer story, so I'll need to bring my toothbrush also. It helps get rid of the popcorn hulls that will get stuck in my teeth as I read the comments.
I love the start with the two boys in love, full of magic and very resourceful if inexperienced. It will make for some fun times ahead. Now the two are off to save a young prince! How often will you post @Geron Kees?
