Readers’ Comments
‘This book was so good. I like fantasy so this was perfect for me. I liked how scary the wood was and how it hid such a huge secret.’ Girl, aged 14
‘Cover was very good and made me want to read it. Blurb was exciting too. Started well, not too slow like many books. I liked Jonathan a lot. He was brave and smart too. Exciting ending.’ Boy, aged 13
‘I liked how the hero was trying to save his family. It made him more interesting and real. Lots of fun fantasy and sci-fi. It was well written and easy to follow. Not too much description which was also good.’ Girl, aged 14
‘This wasn’t as good as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but it was almost. I thought the title wasn’t very catchy.’ Girl, aged 14
‘Best book I read this month.’ Boy, aged 15
