OVERVIEW
A tale of an orphaned robot and its journey to
help save a realm from the rule of an evil witch. When the Land of Iron and
Anvil is brought to ruin by a wicked storm, the robot becomes lost to the wilds
of the lands. But after being discovered by a little boy and his dog, the robot
is reunited with its creator, and they set off to the Land of Shadows to free a
group of orphans from the dark magic of the witch...and save an entire realm
from her rule!
REVIEW
This book was magical from start to
end. I never thought I would come to like a little whistling robot in a story as
much as I did in this one.
In “Little Orphan Anvil’ the
characters are utterly lovable! A young boy and his very clever dog; a
little girl with a fire fly in a jar; a good, kind old man and of course our
favorite robot droid, all meet up along the way on a quest to free the
orphaned children from the evil old witch who is forcing them to work in her
magical garden. A garden destined to aid in the domination of the entire
realm by the rule of the witch.
The story is full of exhilarating adventure
as this small group journeys through dangerous lands to get to the Land of
Shadows where the witch has her mansion; and where she keeps all the orphans under
a magical spell. There are also some thoroughly terrifying moments when
the group is attacked by numerous supernatural entities.
Joseph Beekman is a master at
combining nature, technology and magic to create an absolutely exceptional
story. His technique of starting a chapter with a description of the
surroundings, places the reader right there in the middle of the action. It was
easy for me to live myself into the story because of this.
“Little Orphan Anvil” is a wonderfully
enchanting story, written for children, but will be enjoyed by young and old!
