CRITIC’S REVIEWS

“Fabulous! The action just ramps up and up. It’s even better than the first three, and they were fantastic.”

Adele Broadbent, author of Between and Too Many Secrets

“The plot is thrilling, the setting at once idyllic and dangerous. Readers will be inspired to leave their devices and see what they can see from the top of a tree, to go outside, look for dragons, and have adventures as breathtaking as Paddy, Flynn and Briar.”
