REVIEW - HUEY - AGED 11 - EMMANUEL SCHOOL

Thank you Huey for this. It is really appreciated!

I thought Dragonstone was really good. 

I like the fact that you mixed the modern and the old, like you could travel by a magickal flume to places.The Great City was great city and I thought the different people that lived there was clever idea.

I really liked the houses they lived in. They were unusual and really interesting at the same time. The drinks were good because they knew how thirsty you were and I like the beds and the showers.

I like the characters because they were interested in things they shouldn't have been and that they always wanted adventure.

My favourite characters were Tom, Sedrick and Eric the bus driver as I thought he was funny.

The shadow creature was mysterious and wasn't sure if it was friendly or not even when it helped him. I am still not sure.

I like the school itself. A lot of the aspect of it was that it was alive and there were lots of unusual things there, not like a normal school.I like the teachers and the houses. It was good that they didn't share a room to sleep in and that they had their own room that fit their needs. I liked that they could make their own magickal tools and there wasn't someone making it for them. What was really good was the knight training.  It made it really interesting than just learning magick.  I wish I could do something like that.

It is a lot different from Harry Potter and I think it could be as good. I can't wait for the second book to see what happens.
