Product Description

Product Description

The funeral of Jack's great-grandfather brings together a family split by a 50-year-old feud. But feelings still run high. The cause of the bitterness is mysterious - as mysterious as the photographs of a UFO which Jack and his new-found cousin unearth. Could this be the cause of the trouble?

1.0 out of 5 stars a very tedious read, too many names and sub-plots to this bo, 17 Sep 2001
This review is from: The Sighting (Paperback)
A very tedious read, too many names and some bad language used. My ten year old was rather shocked to find such words in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good but confusing, 8 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sighting (Paperback)
We are a group of Year 4 pupils who listened to The Sighting read to us by our teacher. We enjoyed it but found some of it confusing. We really liked the way it started off and how the plot develped and especially the historic information it gave . We found the ending disappointing ...

3.0 out of 5 stars Jan Mark's trademark lively style and convincing dialogue, 9 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sighting (Paperback)
The cover with its otherworldly three suns in the sky is actually faithful to the story, but if you think you are getting a book of science fiction, you would be wrong. The story is set squarely among very real people in the late 90s: the only strange thing about the lives of Julius Aylward (13) and Jack Aylward (12) is that though they are second cousins they have never heard of each other's existence until the funeral of their great-grandfather. The reason for this is a family feud that began 50 years ago and that no-one now living seems to really understand. The boys team up to elucidate the mystery, and the book is a very pleasant read that involves good sleuthing and ley lines, the Bodleian Library, iron age forts and a badly misfiring practical joke. It would be a good idea to read the book at one sitting, so as to keep the names and dates of the various family members straight in your head. But otherwise it is straightforward reading - not even a subplot in sight!
