Format:Paperback
A superb book for the transition between reading programmes and novels for pre-teenage children - appreciated as this is not so well served at present. Continues the surprisingly effective blend of visually evocative writing, fantastic but logical multi-threaded plot, and resonant illustration found in all the Stewart/Riddell books, but manages to use simpler elements accessable to younger children without disturbing the balance (possibly even improving it). Proved to be an excellent bedtime read for a five year old.

Format:Hardcover
This is a really delightful book although not startlingly original, as it mixes elements from many other children's stories. However it's done with such charm and enthusiasm, and the illustrations are so amusing, that it takes on a character all of its own. Highly recommended to children aged 7 upwards (or a great bedtime read).

Format:Hardcover
Paul Stewart and Chris Riddel have done it again! Another spectaculer book about a young boy called Fergus Crane who is sent a mechanical horse to come meet his long lost uncle and his friends who turn out to be pirates! A briliant book which you can't put down!

Great Series
I am just reading the final book in this series to my 8 nearly 9 year old daughter. She has absolutely loved the first two and they were great books to read aloud to her. Read more

Delightful adventure story
A delightfully engaging adventure story for young children and a breath of fresh air compared to much of the simple-minded and formulaic fare aimed at this age group. Read more

Better than Potter ?
Fergus Crane was the first novel I read to my son, he was 5 years old and he loved it... I followed this with Hugo Pepper and Corby Flood (all of which were good). Read more

A Great Adventure Story
These books are fantastic for those children who are confident at reading, but who are not yet ready to tackle a complete novel on their own. Read more
