“I must say, this is not only a very original story, it ́s also very enjoyable too. The central premise – the story of a disabled orphan with hidden powers – is well-thought out and the characters are interesting and well-defined. There is plenty of pace too, particularly towards the end, and the author has littered his story with an array of twists and turns.

Written, I suspect, with teenagers in mind, this is a book that will keep on surprising you from beginning to end. Like Harry Potter – although this book is not at all like Harry Potter – the magical world is rooted to the ́real ́ world; as such, I think many children will understand the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist, and his need to belong; to be part of a family. There is also a little humour sprinkled in amongst the text, a lot of it from Pappy, a character I grew to love!
All in all, this is an enchanting story, and I ́m delighted to recommend it to 13 – 16 year olds looking for a book that ́s a little different, often thought- provoking, and always compelling. The author is a talented writer, and I ́m very much looking forward to seeing other books from her in the future.”–The Wishing Shelf (www.thewsa.co.uk)

This is so fantastic, Birdie! Although, I think adults would enjoy your book, too. I sure did…. and I’m almost an adult. So happy to see you get the reviews that you deserve! xox
