‘There is so much to delight young readers in this fast-paced fantasy. Speaking as an ex-primary teacher, these are books I’d choose to read to the class, because of their narrative immediacy, direct, clear language, powerful story and contemporary environmental theme.’ Richard Brown
‘A traditional quest story, with many dangers on the journey. The account of going deeper and deeper into darkness and danger, feeling increasingly enclosed, is brilliantly and overwhelmingly claustrophobic. Unreservedly recommended.’ Victor Watson
The Stonekeeper’s Child books linger in the mind’s eye and deserve to reach a wide audience.’ Mary Green
