This book is AWESOME!
It’s full of excitement, danger, mystery and is so fast paced I read it in one sitting.
I was instantly drawn to Christopher and his best friend Tom, they have a great level of camaraderie and their conversations are hilarious and made me laugh out loud throughout the whole book.
The plot is inventive, the characters are fantastic and I absolutely loved the historical setting; it’s so well described and full of little details that it really did transport me back in time (and actually has made me want to read more about that particular period of time as I usually focus on Tudor times!).
This book is perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Skulduggery Pleasant, Lockwood & Co and Artemis Fowl – essentially it is the new *Must Read* middle grade book and I can’t wait to read more from this author!
