IAN JOHNSTONE

CIRCLES OF STONE: “…vividly imagined…skilfully crafted…masterly…a book to excite and engage children, but also one to make them think; to imagine but also to reflect. The Mirror Chronicles now needs only a completion which maintains the qualities demonstrated in its first two parts for the whole to become one of the great works of children’s fiction.”

THE BELL BETWEEN WORLDS: “Outstanding … Epic stuff. This is certainly the best ‘classic’ fantasy I have come across so far from the last 14 years … Could well prove to be one of the greats of any period.”

Magic Fiction Since Potter

“… [a] vivid fantasy world where danger lurks at every turn and the plot twists on every page. It bears all the hallmarks of the genre, including powerful magic, baffling prophecies, breathless chases, heroic battles, evil adversaries, a thundering climax and a quest that seems impossible to fulfill. There are… undertones of bigger themes, but this is a wonderful piece of fantasy that will enthrall readers in the twelve plus age group.”
