Reviewer: Beccy
'Really enjoyed it! I recommend for those who like fantasy and historical reads, you should definately give it a go! 'Critic's reviews
"...fantasy novel, Endymion Spring, has taken the world by storm...Skelton has created a book that draws on Faustian legend, and alchemy – as well as Gutenberd and the invention of the printing press – to create a rich and complex fantasy novel.
—Rachel Steen, Canadian Children's Book News
"The 'gibbous moon,' the 'obligated babysitter,' frequent portentous dreams, and contrived dialogue throughout, create a tension between Potter-esque yarn of children messing with magical objects and an evil force, and a deeper, far darker story."
—Cover to Cover
"With the film due to be released by Warner Brothers later this year, this could well become a franchise."
