… a great adventure from a wonderful storyteller …
As fierce as her wildcat companion, Moll fights the terrifying dark magic which is calling to her through dreams.
This is a great adventure story which rattles along at a tremendous pace. Abi is a wonderful storyteller who can conjure up Moll’s forest world with an array of characters, painted with a few memorable brushstrokes: Siddy with his worm, Porridge the Second; Hard Times Bob and the sturdy Oak.
I particularly liked the gypsy atmosphere and manner of speaking which adds a unique charm to the book. The sequel, The Shadow Keeper, is out now.
Some of the passages are very dark and may frighten some more nervous readers …
