fantasy at it's best

The Slug Queen Chronicles: Season One


This is a story about a girl whose mane is cricket - yes unusual but this is fantasy and for I wold recommend 10-12 year old - there are some frightening aspects within this story. This is described as season one and what a start, Cricket is 12 and realises that fairies do actually exist and not a myth- but not in the cute way we think of fairies these are scary fairies ( who the reader learns why they do not take teeth from under children's pillows) after her brother is kidnapped and thus the quest to find the brother.

There are just so many levels to this story, why is there black dust everywhere, what is happening to her parents in the way they appear to be acting?

This is real suspense and a book you simply cannot put down, a great read well written by this author who can really tell a good tale. Cannot wait for season 2 and I am an adult.
