Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas

4.0

Fingin is on a journey to find his grandmother. With his friends Bran (a dog) and Sean (a donkey), he takes on the task expecting for there to be a little to no issue. However, that’s not the case, because that would be too easy! Instead, they face moments of danger and unease. Who wants to keep her hidden? Why is this so difficult? He’s struggling to just get to a place where he can sort things out and someone or something wants to stop him at all costs. Once he gets through the thick of it, he finally is able to do what he set out to, find his grandmother. In the end, though, it’s not at all like he thought! Instead, there are a few more magical moments mixed with old-world stories and a lesson in what it means to have love in your life. It’s a beautifully written story. Well done!
