'As soon as I saw the title and the front cover of this book, I knew I would love it! It was a nice easy read, but very descriptive, it grabbed my attention immediately.' -- Megan Whiteman, age 10, Education Otherwise 'The marvellous inventiveness of Otfried Preussler receives an overdue revival with Curse of the Darkling Mill. This is a mysterious, fearful tale of evil doing and death threatening to engulf 14-year-old Krabat.' -- The School Librarian, Spring 2001
