Hoping there will be a sequel...

…An entirely fresh take on the ‘child-from-the-normal-world-gets-magically-transported- to-boarding-school’ genre…I recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to Harry Potter or the Nevermoor stories!

It will have you gripped until the very last page...

Wow, what a book this is! I was in a bit of a reading slump then this popped through the letterbox and rescued me! … the story is fast paced and really keeps you on the edge of your seat. It certainly had me telling everyone about it – at work, home, anyone I spoke to was told about this fantastic book I was reading!
