The Elf Prince - Book Review

By: Lillian Brummet

Author Todd McClimans is a 5th grade teacher and young
father, who lives in Nevada with his family. Todd has been
writing short stories for his students for more than 10 years
and The Elf Prince is his first novel. Currently, Todd is
working on a sequel to this book and has two other book
projects ahead in his future.

All the elements for a wonderfully mystical tale for youth, and
for those with youthful minds are here in this novel.
Haunting dreams, caring creatures of the forest, magical
swords, a quest to defeat wickedness and free its captives
along with humorous moments and unique characters -
truly, it is all here. Each of Todd’s characters is pressed to
find their individual strengths, to accept the uniqueness of
their abilities and learn respect for things they once held
reservations about.

There are three main characters in The Elf Prince. “Tenii” is
a half-breed Man-Dwarf and just might be the most
interesting wizard readers will have met in a long time.
“Petra”, a gorgeous young fawn, has a persistent and
doggedly determined nature that saves them all more than
once. Finally there is “Dantin”, the 11 year-old half-breed
Elf-Man Prince - who along with his two courageous friends
endeavor to break the dominance of Dantin’s cold-hearted,
ruthless uncle. They cannot do this alone and are aided
more than once by their friends: Tierra, the she-elf Princess
and Byron, the leader of a tribe of Dwarf warriors.

I have to say this was an excellent novel. Scene transition
moved smoothly from one to the next in a realistic and
engaging style. I completely enjoyed each stage of the tale
and did not want it to end. The gorgeous book cover is
certainly an asset to The Elf Prince, which pictures one of
the two intricately carved magical medallions that play a part
in the tale.
