"Join Zed on his quest for truth in this incredible story about friendship and finding your voice in the world"
Every so often a shooting star escapes from the gilded cage it's kept in, slipping away from those who try to tame it, and dashing through the night, ripping open the sky connecting the two worlds for a brief moment.
Humankind hears the thunder sound as the shooting stars escape, warning the hunters far and wide who will again assemble, ready to protect the earth from the monsters that will soon fall. 12 year old Zed is fascinated by the Demons that fall from the sky, monsters that threaten their world. One day he hopes to follow in his dad’s footsteps for First Hunter, the hunter of all hunters, tasked with eliminating the creatures.
Avid reader Zed takes solace in his books (don't we all), friends are few and far between with the constant moving and change. A wonderful character, Zed is kind, he’s thoughtful, and in his quest for truth he stays true to himself.
This is a joy of a read: warm, funny and inclusive: a celebration of difference. I loved it!
