Reviews

Praise for the Jane Doe Chronicles

Speeding trains He's got them. Forests with something unnerving about them Those too, and so much more: [a] girl seeking missing kin; booby-trapped ruins; and whip tricks worthy of Indiana Jones' The Guardian

'Move over, Indiana Jones. Your escapades seem trivial in comparison to Janes. Each page brings more questions than answers in this first book of the Jane Doe duology. I didnt want to put it down. Neither will you.' Kids Book Review

'Immediately exciting and inventive, this is a thrilling story set in a universe made up of multiple worlds Jane is a wonderful characterwarm, brave and funnyand the secondary characters are equally charming. A unique and utterly compelling read. This action-packed adventure thriller will appeal to a wide range of readers aged 11 and up, and could well be our nextNevermoor.' Books + Publishing

'[A] climactic action sequence hits every beat. Double-crosses! Triple-crosses! A daring flight in a location definitely not intended for an airplane! A massive rolling boulder! Sandstorms and scorpions! Amid all the death and betrayal, Janes timid, sweet flirtation with Violet comes off as positively darling... An explosive, fast-paced, snarky, high-stakes quest through an ancient haunted house.' Kirkus

'A fantastic fast-pacedexciting adventure set in a magical labyrinth of a manor with rooms that shift, booby traps and a classic bad guy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I highly recommend this book for kids 11+.' Readings Kids

Author Bio

Jeremy Lachlan was born and raised on Wiradjuri country, in Griffith, New South Wales, Australia. A former bookseller, he completed his honours degree in creative writing at the University of Canberra, and now calls Sydney home. His debut novel, Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds, was the Australian Book Industry Award winner for Book of the Year for Older Children, and its sequel, Jane Doe and the Key of All Souls, was shortlisted for the same award. The Jane Doe Chronicles have beenpublished locally and internationally. But all thispales in comparison to the $100 he once took home in a karaoke competition.

He came up with the idea for the Jane Doe Chronicles while lost in the Cairo Museum.
