Brimming with magic and monsters of all varieties (and some of them are very cute!), this book weaves a spellbinding huntsman-sized-spider-web of fast-paced enchantment and adventure around your hands so you cannot put it down. It's compelling in the extreme and written with such emotion. I loved the themes of love and friendship overpowering unkindness and evil and I adored that the strength of family (whatever that might look like (and it differs in so many ways) gives off the most powerful magic of all: love. The ending is both sublime and poignant, with a final twist of a chapter that I did not see coming (and which brought a lump to my throat). I really do hope you go out and get yourself a copy of this book for the young magician in your life: you won't regret it.
