Jack was lucky enough to win a signed copy from the author! However all thoughts and opinions are his own.
After two whole years of having this site and him having read a multitude of books in this time, I have finally pinned Jack down and got him to write a review of a book he has now read at least four or five times! He was lucky enough to win a personalised signed copy a little while ago and it really is a special book. You can pick up your own copy here {affiliate link}.
Synopsis
With all the magic of Narnia and the humour of Mary Poppins, this is a future middle grade fantasy classic – and the beginning of an unforgettable journey…
Imogen should be nice to her little sister Marie. She should be nice to her mum’s boyfriend too. And she certainly shouldn’t follow a strange silver moth through a door in a tree. But then… who does what they’re told?
Followed by Marie, Imogen finds herself falling into a magical kingdom where the two sisters are swept up in a thrilling race against time – helped by the spoiled prince of the kingdom, a dancing bear, a very grumpy hunter… and even the stars above them.
My Review
This is a great book! Would you go into a door in a tree? Well, if you could make friends then I would! Imogen and Marie ran away from home, only to find themselves in another world where they meet Miro, the prince of Yaroslav , a lesni hunter, Lofkinye Lolo and Zuby. When the sun lowers, monsters called Skret roam the roads of Yaroslav, angry about the past. If you have read this book, there is a second book, called A Clock Of Stars: Beyond The Mountains {affiliate link}.
My favourite character was the Shadow Moth, because it was the one who caused the adventure.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
What a brilliant review! I love the illustrations of Chris Riddell too. The shadow moth sounds like a fantastic character. Will be sure to add this to my Amazon wish list! 😊
This certainly sounds like a great book, with a great story, not sure I would be brave enough to go through a door in a tree though
What child doesn’t enjoy a book about a magical adventure. This sounds like a really fun read and a book my middle child would enjoy reading.
Wow it must have been a good book for you to re-read it that many times. Sounds like a good one x
What a lovely review of A Clock Of Stars Jack, the book sounds so magical and one which I know my children would enjoy reading as well
This sounds like a great adventure story for kids, definitely something my daughter would enjoy.
