 "The future cannot blame the present, just as the present cannot blame the past. The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world." 
 This story is my favorite of them all? Why? I think in the end of the story, although there are some tiny part that I'm not so satisfied, but I think the quote of this story is pretty good, especially for children. (Actually, the written words of this book is quite good, it'll be a nice choice for children English learner.) 
 However, you might ask, if the ending is that good, how come I only give it four stars? The only thing I'm not satisfied is the ending and the role for the Drews. First, I think the ending is rather quick...it lacks of the tension part of a great adventure story. It's excited...but makes my heart race? Not really. (The only reason that my heart race during that time is due to the earthquake.) And, since the Drews were mortal, unlike Will and Bran...their parts seemed to be...less important in the end...and I dislike that. Why? They should also be important, not just as a sidekick. So for Jane, Simon, and Barney lovers, you might be a bit disappointed. But for Will and Bran lovers (Like me!) You'll find plenty enough of their time in the last part.
