Description

All I did was ask you for a role-playing game. You never warned me Id be pitched into it for real! And I asked you for hobbits on a Grail quest, and not one hobbit have I seen!
Hexwood Farm is a bit like human memory; it doesnt reveal its secrets in chronological order. Consequently, whenever Ann enters Hexwood, she cannot guarantee on always ending up in the same place or even the same time.

Hexwood Farm is full of machines that should not be tampered with and when one is, the aftershock is felt throughout the universe. Only Hume, Ann and Mordion can prevent an apocalypse in their struggle with the deadly Reigners or are they too being altered by the whims of Hexwood

A complex blend of science fiction and all sorts of fantasy including fantasy football!!

Reviews

Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Joness most outrageous plots to her readers hopes and fears
