A Wonderful Adventure For Fantasy Lovers!

Every once in a while, you come across a book that has it all. Pajo is one of those books. Set amidst the strange beauty of an ancient kingdom, Pajo is a story of love, sacrifice, magic, adventure, and friendship.

The title character, Pajo, is the last member of a dying race. Covered in fur and stinking of the swamps where he makes his home, he is a wretched creature, tortured by self-loathing and the knowledge that he is something less than human. Though he’s only thirteen years old, Pajo carries a lifetime of burdens on his rounded shoulders. He doesn’t love himself, and he has no reason to love anyone else, but that doesn’t stop him from undertaking a dangerous journey to save the infant prince.

At turns, this book is funny, frightening, thought provoking, and heart warming. It’s a wonderful adventure story. More importantly, it’s a poignant reminder of the true nature of heroism and humanity.
