"The Mighty is a stunning opening to the Druid's Guise series by Michael J Sanford, a book that will entertain and surprise young adults and adult readers alike." Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite 5/5 stars He's not crazy. Honest, he's not. He's just Wyatt. Wyatt the Mighty. Fifteen-year-old Wyatt can't believe he's been sent to The Shepherd's Crook, a treatment center for "disturbed youth." It's not his fault no one understands him. And it's not his fault he has no past beyond the shadows that haunt him. He wants nothing more than to escape from it all. And he does. Through a magic he doesn't understand, he finds himself in Hagion, a realm of fantastical creatures and immense wonder. He quickly finds himself in the company of a runaway warrior and two Children--a strange race of underground creatures that seem forever joyful. They claim Wyatt is a Druid, a powerful figure of myth and legend, sent to restore peace to all of the Realms. He doesn't bother correcting them. Finally, he can be the hero he's always dreamed of. But claiming to be a hero and actually being a hero are two different things. And it's a lesson Wyatt may have to pay dearly for.
