Media Reviews
High fantasy, richly imagined and refreshingly well-written - an excellent novel. * THE SUNDAY TIMES *
Brilliant, breathless and filled with action from page one. * KIDS OUT *
An incredible world in which the reader will become totally absorbed. * THE BOOKSELLER *
Gripping, racy, children have been fighting to borrow it. * THE GUARDIAN *
A vivid world of magical possibilities. * THE TIMES *
A thrilling and magical read - there is a real build up of suspense with plenty of twists and turns. It is full of brilliant descriptions of events, characters and places. * LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICE FOR SCHOOLS *
Places him firmly among much more well-known names such as Philip Pullman and C.S.Lewis - Ithrea is a truly complete world, and the characters are beautifully conceived to obtain an emotional response from the reader. * BOOKMONSTER *
