Whalen Vankin is a great wizard, and he has only personally trained two wizards. One of these wizards is Alexander (Alex) Taylor. The other is Jabez, Vankin's nephew. However, Jabez went down a darker path, while Alex earned a reputation as a brave adventurer, a warrior, and a man of honor. Whalen has called Alex for help. They must find Jabez, and destroy him. Whalen trained Jabez against his own better judgement, even though he was always evil. Whalen could not see that he was evil. Whalen believed he was not strong enough to destroy Jabez himself, meaning that Alex has to destroy him. This book was interesting, and I recommend it to people who love fantasy books. I rate it 5/5.

Alex Taylor is an ordinary boy, except for the fact that he has a step-father and no mother. But, even that isn't very remarkable, for his stepfather isn't evil. His step-father is just an ordinary man who owns a tavern called the happy dragon. He also has a step-brother whose name is Todd, who plays lots of tricks, but never means to get anyone in trouble. Only, one day, he goes for a walk on Sildon Lane. It is surprisingly empty, with no cars close to him. He sees a sign in a bookshop that says Adventurers Wanted. Then, he looks away for a second, and it suddenly says, in different colored letters, Adventurers Wanted: Please Apply Within. He goes inside to ask about the sign, and finds himself signing a contract so he can become an adventurer, and suddenly learns about magic from his new fellow adventurers, Arconn and Thrang. Arconn is an elf, and Thrang a dwarf. Then he meets the other adventurers, and goes to get supplies, but while in the blacksmith's shop to get weapons, he learns that he could be a wizard. He also learns about things such as magic bags, and sets off on his adventure with his magic sword, Moonslayer. While on the adventure, he learns about the wall, fights a three-legged troll, and befriends an Oracle.

Like many other books this is a story of an unfortunate tragedy with a fairytale ending. Throughout the book the author keeps your attention and reminds you of the scenario so that you are not confused. It however does give away many of the details in the story, that may have been meant for a unexpected twist, so it won't keep you guessing which makes it an easy read but takes out much of the thrill and mystery. Overall I found it very predictable. On the other hand I found the book to be a page turner that kept you reading. Its sure to be a read you won't soon forget. One detail I loved about the book is it describes India today. It gives you a piece of mind and makes you appreciate everything you have, and reminds your some have nothing. The story also was an inspiration to me. The main character, Koly was not only strong and tough but kind hearted and wise. With these qualities I found myself almost caring about the character and wanting to make sure she turned out okay. This alone can make Homeless Bird a instant favorite. Overall the book was a great read an any reader is sure to enjoy it.

I really love this manga, but I won't recommend it, as it is somewhat mature and not a challenging read.
