This book was a rather sneaky one... The beginning sucks readers in with an exciting story of a missing boy. The mystery and high emotions were well-written and riveting. But once he focus shifted... or, rather, once the author had his audience fully hooked, he climbed onto his Save-The-World soapbox and the story suffered for it. Other books have tackled this ecology theme to a much more effective level. All in all, with such a promising start, I was disappointed. Plus the Hermit's mystery was never fully resolved...

I thought the book was well written and enjoyed it very much. However there were times that the story seemed to jump from event to event without much explanation, which in turn made some sections not very believable. Despite that it was a very quick read and really drove home some effects of human's on their environment.
