Latest reviews ... The Seventh Tide

Throughout the story, the Scottish locations are vividly evoked. The characterisation is warm and rich. Events are compelling, inventive, exciting, and poignant by turns. The humour is frequent, intelligent, and genuinely funny. ‘The Seventh Tide’ is an outstanding fantasy adventure, very highly recommended. And there’s even a heroic librarian!

Latest reviews ... Ice Road

... absolutely delightful adventure ... worth catching. Joan Lennon's Ice Road: The Wickit Chronicles (Andersen, £4.99/£4.74) is about a boy novice in Ely Cathedral, whose best friend, Perfect, is a stone gargoyle. This is their third adventure, as young King Arnald's wicked uncle seeks to invade the country over frozen fenlands, and it is written with humour, clarity and sympathy.

Latest reviews ... Questors

That Lennon manages to create three unique worlds with separate cultures and distinct flavors and unify them in one complicated but complete narrative is a feat of legerdemain hard to equal. Blending magic and sci-fi, Lennon mingles the fantastical amidst the everyday with humor and heart.
