Totally swept away by Hardy’s mindblowing world of Medlock. Superb characterisation meets incredible storytelling in this breath-taking adventure.

I cannot wait for people to read this. It’s one of the best books I’ve read in YEARS. Reminds me of the first time I read Northern Lights, with tinges of Tin, Nevermoor and Potter. Any Y5/6 library NEEDS THIS BOOK!

This is Pullman brilliant. With its own brand of magic

Full of hope and heart within a world built like no other, it’s a sci-fi story to savour that ignites the imagination and is a triumph ahead of its time.
