Loved it!!!!!!! 2 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
From my 9yr old son:This book is a magnificent story and I hope the author writes a sequel. It is about a boy called Thomas and a mysterious serpent glass. Thomas never knew his parents and was adopted by the Westrops. On his 11th birthday Thomas receives a visit from a solicitor from Scotland and finds out that his father left him the keys to a safety deposit box. In the box he finds an invitation to attend Darkledun Manor school for gifted children. This was a fantastic read and I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy.

Magical 14 Jan 2012
By Rmaga
Format:Kindle Edition
The story is very magical. It take us to a world of fantasy and dream.
It is possible to lose ourselves in the book and forget the rest of the world around us.
I found myself several times with a smile in my face while reading(in the tube).

Hope the author writes more. I'm really waiting for more.

Charming Book 28 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a certain charm, and whilst it is definitely aimed at a younger market, this 53 year old had no problems with this at all! Highly recommended!

Westhrop replied that he would henceforth save himself a lot of effort by doing neither. Thomas often felt miserable too. He had none of the trappings &quote;

A badly painted garden gnome with a look of surprise upon its face sat atop a bright red toadstool. In its hand it held a fishing rod, the hook of which hung unmoving in the windless Hertfordshire air several inches above a small ponds still surface. The gnomes eyes seemed fixed on the other side of the garden where a greenhouse sat in the shade of a crab apple tree. Every other pane of glass had been painted lime green so as to create a checkerboard effect. &quote;
