The Legend of Hobart by Heather Mullaly

Even if you want to count my age in cat-years, I’m still a middle grader of about 11 years old now. That means I’m at that age where I start to realize adults are dumb and stupid and that I’m cooler than catnip. It also means that I’m at that age where I just know I can conquer the world – all I need is a quest, a talking horse, a dragon and an unlimited supply of salmon.

Poor Hobart, he is also at that cooler-than-catnip age (if only he was). He also wanted to conquer the world, aka The King’s School for the Education of Future Knights.  But alas, his stutter and lack of any heroic deed or a cat, was a bit of a boulder in the road to knighthood. Where he lacked courage, he gained determination and desperation that lead him to an epic adventure.

Like most boys who are at the cooler-than-catnip age, he set out on his quest with no sword, no shield and no idea where the heck he’s going. As long as there will be a dragon to slain or an ogre to kill along the road – who cares. Thankfully, he crossed paths with a wise woman or two along the road. What boys will do without all the wise women in their lives, beats me every time.

I should bestow some more credit to Hobart. Unlike most boys who are at the cooler-than-catnip age, he did stop to smell the roses along the road and he sure proofed that a friend in need, is a friend in deed. And that is what this story is all about. A random act of kindness can sometimes be the most heroic thing you will ever do. Oh and realizing that there are more value in the quest than in the conquest.

Yes, I know I sound like a Hallmark card, but this precious little book brought out the Hallmark gold stamp in me. We need Hallmark cards in this life to cope with the mundane realities of Sky News or CNN. Who cares if there were a few things that didn’t add up in the story, it still adds up better than real life and that gets ????? from us.

Thank you Heather Mullaly for sharing The Legend of Hobart with us. Please write a few more of these. The only suggestion we would like to give is, please bring a cat into the next tale. Preferably a fluffy white kitten to match Albert’s shiny white coat.

Heather Mullaly is a passionate believer in the power
of story. When she isn’t writing them, reading them, or listening to them, she
can usually be found baking something that involves chocolate, thinking up new
story ideas before she’s finished the two she’s currently writing, or hanging
out with her family, who happen to be even more fantastic than the characters
in her head. She lives in Virginia with her husband and their three teenagers.Author links:– Website: http://www.heathermullaly.com– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/106508034343528– Bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/authors/heather-mullaly– Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Heather-Mullaly/e/B091MCSFY2
