Reviews

Like its predecessor, this book is visually appealing. The text is easy to read and broken up by many detailed line drawings. Having written a number of books for young people several of which have attracted awards Brugman handles her first foray into fantasy with style and aplomb. The plot is well-structured and engages the reader from the first sentence. Although not of her own creation, the characters are all Brugmans as she leads readers at a cracking pace from one crisis to another. Fans of fantasy and adventure are sure to love this series. - Jenny Mounfield
