Kisho - Review
By: Lillian Brummet
Kisho - Review
Now here’s a treat for dog-lovers! Author of multiple short
stories for children, Jarod Twiford, has recently released his
first children’s book, Kisho. This story line is unique and
has an ending that readers will not see coming.
Everyone loves a hero story. But in Kisho, the hero is an
animated animal that is not really animated nor is he an
animal! Here we have a young boy who privately loves to
watch animated movies. He undergoes a magical
transformation into an animated character from a movie and
embarks on an adventure of a lifetime. Impending disaster,
earthquakes, romance, adventure and finding true
happiness are all a part of the story line in Kisho.
Jarod Twiford has been writing for young people for about
six years before the release of this book. After intensive
research and painstaking attention to detail, he picked the
name for the leading character because Kisho means “one
who knows his own mind”. His thoughtful use of many
breeds of canines definitely lent more power to the
characters’ personalities.
Though I felt a few areas were a little rushed over by the
author, it certainly uses an interesting and fairly unusual
theme. This book is certain to entertain and be read multiple
times by readers.
