I brought this book with me everywhere I went because I couldn't stop reading it. Something realy scary happens to felix's parents because of Snakeweed and he has to get a spell from a sphynx to make them better.The sphynx is called Leona and her tail makes sparks. I really like all the wird creatures and the places. There ius a city in the desert with zigurats which have gardens like the hangings gardens of babilon. I love Fuzzy best because she's really like my little sister.

This book is warm, lively, full of humour, incident and invention. Elizabeth Kay has a wonderful knack of making her characters not only interesting and likeable, but loveable. To mention only a few:- a one-eyed giantess in pink, who makes poems about fish; a sinister 'shadow-beast' who is trying hard to reform and be good without really understanding what 'good' means - oh, and he's writing a cook-book too. A flying carpet with a mind of its own; and a strutting, boastful griffin with a passion for mathematics. It's as good as the first book, 'The Divide'. Highly recommended.

Not only is 'Back to the Divide' as good as 'The Divide', in my opinion it is infinitely better. Just as CS Lewis did with 'The Chronicles of Narnia', Kay doesn't limit the magical world. So new lands are explored by Felix and Betony and on the way some wonderful new characters are introduced. My favourites are Turpsik,the one-eye, fish obsessed poet and Fuzzy - but I won't tell you who Fuzzy is as that would spoil a nice surprise!
Once again Kay intermingles current issues with the story, focussing on the environment and the dangers of introducing technology into a culture that doesn't understand it. Add to that a possible new WMD and this story is topically bang up to date.
But the best thing about 'Back to the Divide' is that you get to escape into a fantasy world for a short time. And as a busy mother of two small children that's really important to me! Who cares that it's a children's book? It's a darn good read and surely that's all that matters!
