REVIEW BY SUSIE!

A big thank you to Susie for this wonderful review!

This is a beautifully well written novel and most certainly one for all ages to enjoy!

Such a wonderfully creative and descriptive storyline that fueled my imagination from start to end which is what I love so much about this book. I really like Charlie, a strong willed boy yet he shows warmth and protectiveness towards his new friends especially Amanda. Drawn to all of the secrets that surround them, nothing seems to stop Charlie in his quest for the half prophecy.

The story pulls you in as though you are actually there with them, sharing and experiencing the reality of this other realm, which for me is what makes this book and the style it is written fascinating.
Each chapter is cleverly paced and doesn’t reveal everything all at once.

I love the light hearted humour, it’s well balanced and holds lots of little gems.
The un-potted plants and the doors made me giggle! The different house’s within the school is a fantastic concept and I can’t wait to read more about them in the next book.

This is one novel that I will definately be reading again before the next edition.
