Review Summaries
" Robin Penmarch is a boy who lives in an island called the lost isle. He is an ordinary boy with ordinary friends, goes to school and plays computer games. But his life takes an extra-ordinary turn when his magical potential is accidently revealed in the presence of Quadehar the sorcerer.
Robin becomes Quadehar's apprentice and learns all the tricks of the trade from the sorcerer. But soon, Robin's talents are put to test when he and his friends must crossover to the Uncertain world to rescue their friend.
Wild tribes and bandits await in the Uncertain world and it would take all of Robin's new found talent and wit to defeat all the forces of evil that surrounds him!! "

"The Lost Isle is a country which was originally connected to our world but now lies between the Real World and the Uncertain World. Robin Penmarch lives there with his mother and quite often he falls victim to bullying at school. He considers himself weak, and at best average, which is why it is a shock when Master Quadehar, a powerful magician, asks if Robin would like to be his apprentice. Robin accepts, and soon begins facing powerful enemies from the Uncertain World. Through a blunder that Robin makes while transporting his friends and himself from one world to another, they are separated and have to each find their way in the Uncertain World. But not only does Robin have to try and reunite his friends, but he also is being chased by some of the most unsavory characters in the Uncertain World, who for one reason or another want to take advantage of Robin's unusual talents.
