Skycircus takes readers to an even higher level with a mesmerising and imaginative adventure that delivers wall-to-wall thrills * Lancashire Evening Post *
The book most certainly didn't disappoint and was a thrilling page turner from start to finish. It was full of excitement and kept me on the edge of my seat (literally!). * K & O, Bonkers About Books (blogger review) *

Author Bio

Peter grew up in South London in a rambling Victorian house with three cats, two dogs, one sister, an antique-dealer dad and an artist mum. He is a BAFTA-winning animator, as well as a writer and film-maker. Like Lily and Robert, he loves adventures and reading penny dreadfuls, but wishes dearly that he had a mechanical fox called Malkin. Shadowsea is his fourth novel.
