Book tittle: The Riddle of the Gnome.

Author: P.W. Catanese.

Genre: Fantasy.

When I pick this book up it didn’t look or sound the best I thought I was going to be an ok read. The Riddle of the Gnome is one of strangest book titles that I have heard. It is a great book consisting of lots of Adventure and great stream of fantasy. The book is written from a point of view of a boy with a curse. P. W. Catanese has done an awesome job on writing this book he has taken Rumpelstiltskin to a whole new level. This is a fantastic book but has magical and outrageous words in it. This book is recommended any audience that wants a magical adventure like story. The words are used perfectly to express the feeling of the main characters and the strangest task that the gnome has pulled together that are scrambled around the Londria. This was an amazing read thank you P.W Catanese it was amazing.
