WARNING: contains imploding toads, gravity-defying clowns, liquefied brains, a sadistic dentist and a deformed taxidermist; great dollops of blood and bogies, half a million crows, and a giant with OCD. Gothic horror meets supernatural sci-fi; Kimi's Secret will leave you gagging, breathless and sleeping with the light on. Suitable for grinning little monsters aged 10 to 100.

Forget Lemony Snicket - The UK now has its own extra special heroine and her name is Kimi Nichols.
It's Kimi's eleventh birthday tomorrow and she's sure her parents are off to a secret meeting to arrange for a dreamy pink limo as part of her birthday treat. But when the crow arrives, everything changes. Kimi comes into contact with Magic. Big Magic. Dark Magic. Dangerous Magic. Without her mum and dad, who've disappeared off the face of the earth, Kimi has to negotiate the world of Heart, with its unusual, powerful and sometimes disgusting inhabitants.
Wonderful, terrifying and original, this story will stretch your imagination, Kimi will enter your heart and you won't be able to sleep until you know whether or not she's safe.

Kimi's Secret starts out at a run and stays there. As a reader I hardly had a chance to breathe, the pace is wonderful. Kimi is a normal girl - at least she thinks so until her imaginary friend for years ago turns up and wants to whisk her away to another world. What follows is a terrific journey. You will meet Balancers, Adepts, Tuplas, find dodo's alive once more and discover little fairy creatures called the famoose (who get a very bad end of the stick yet they are sooo loveable). There's magic - but it's called mojo - and a great cast of supporting characters. This is a fantastic read, I really can't recommend this enough.

'Kimi's Secret'is a stonker of a read. It's entertaining, scary, funny, sad, mysterious, mind-mending and a bit mad in places. It has amazing characters - Tulpas, Balancers, Adepts, fairies, Greylians and trolls - to name a few. Eleven-year-old Kimi has an important and very challenging mission to fulfil and the adventures she has along the way will keep the reader gripped and breathless. Great writing and a breathless page turner for all those who enjoy a cracking good story. Can't wait for the sequel.
