Thanks Karen for this lovely review :O)
Dragonstone takes you on an amazing journey with its protagonist Charlie Stuart. Not only the journey to his new school and new found freinds, but into his new 'other world' and life. There are twists and turns throughout the story, each incorporating beautifully descriptive writing. The author has created a rich and colourful world in which Charlie tries to make sense of the strange things that are happening to him and his friends and family. There are myths, elements, legends and magick, which are cleverly woven into the Dragonstone story. The characters also deal with bullying and disabilities which is an excellent way of raising moral issues for younger readers.
There are so many things I could mention that I liked about the story, but that will spoil it for you. So I would encourage anyone to buy this book, either for themselves, a younger reader, or to share with a younger child. I also hear there is a sequel in progress, I'm looking forward to the next exciting adventure with Charlie and his friends!
