A boy was found at the beach; he couldn’t remember his name or anything about himself, and he was cared for by Grandpa Will and Aunty Bea. Peter got to love the boy together with his friend Sally. The three of them bonded together and would go on adventures. No one knew the boy’s name or history, so no one disturbed him, and Aunty decided to let him be until he could remember his name. Something was special about the boy; he couldn’t remember his name even when he tried to, but he remembered all the series of dreams he had; a prominent one was about Betty and Billy on the Dream Catcher; he could talk to animals and also hear them speak. As time went by, he knew he was special and had a mission, but he wasn’t sure what it was. Let's dive into "Peter and The Boy" to see the series of adventures that show the boy's connection with Peter and their past.

"Peter and The Boy" by Keith Main is a thrilling fantasy book that tells the story of a mysterious boy who needs to identify his supernatural ability and embark on his mandatory mission accordingly.

I love the plot’s suspenseful quality, as there are lots of stories to unravel, from one suspense to another. This kept me turning the pages to make my understanding of the plot clearer. I also love the complexity in the plot because it keeps the readers glued to their seats while reading the book to unravel, especially the boy’s later end, whether he’s able to remember his name or embark on his mission. I’m a usual fan of paranormal scenes, and this book does not compromise to thrill me with scenes featuring animals talking and other mystical powers. The plot’s idea is child-friendly, and it is going to appeal to the fantasy nature of children and their world. However, the complexity goes deep, with lots of suspense that can make the book confusing to younger children. So, I'd rather recommend the book to older children who are in their teenage years and younger adults.

I found no grammar errors in the book, proving it was an exceptionally edited piece. I also do not have an objective reason to rate the book less than full stars. Hence, the book earns 5 out of 5 stars.
