User Reviews

Young enough to believe in magic and old enough to be curious.

Marvelous family entertainment. A boy, pure in heart and spirit, as only the very young can be, seeks his Grandfather in the past.

A beautiful story of love and courage, with a dash of magic. Be warned though, you must allow your imagination free rein. You must believe in the improbable and even the impossible, for here, lives the delight of discovery.
