Reviews

"A complete and utter masterpiece, one of the best books I have ever read. I fully recommend it to readers of all ages. If you have not read this book you have not begun to read. I can't wait for the next one. A must have." David, 14"Put on your Brightcoats, Starhoods and Immaterial Boots (better bring your Stickit Fingers and Ascension wings, too) as we leap into the secod book of the Keys to the Kingdomadventure fantasy series, which is just as action-packed and fast-paced as it's predecessor... Exciting, engrossing, humourous and deliciously creepy in parts." Magpies
