This is such a great little love story.  I wanted it to go on forever.  I have been daydreaming about the story since I finished it.  This is the last book in the Hollow kingdom trilogy, but I only read the last two books.  Since it was such a great book I'm thinking of going back and reading the first book if I can find it in the library.  This series was written for young adults.  So any kid past the 5th grade should be able to read it.
