Editorial : From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—Adrian Velba is a gladiator-in-training. He lives in a medieval magical land that values tradition, and the annual gladiatorial Games are what he (and everyone else) looks forward to all year.

I’m hard to please too, because so many books billed as thrillers produce not so much as a single goose bump. Clear, and readable and insightful, it should
