Product Description
From the Author
It's taken a long time to get here, but the reaction I'm getting from everyone who reads it makes it all worthwhile. What is especially pleasing for me is that not only do kids love it, but adults do too. The media are starting to take note now so the next year is set to be a very interesting one!

I got this book for Christmas 2009 and have only now got round to reading it. I loved it and can't recommend it enough. It's a rollercoaster read with a twist in the middle that at first I couldn't work out why the author would put it in. Had I stopped reading then I might have given the book 4 stars, but I'm sooooooo glad I read on. In fact I might just read it again. That's me... all or nothing! Having left the last one unread for so long I now can't wait for the next installment! Hurry up!!

I heard about this book in The Children's Writer's and Artist's Yearbook. I was interested to find out that John Howard had self published it, having considering doing this for my book. I understood how difficult it must be to get your book known if you self publish it, so was keen to buy a copy, in the hope of helping to spread the word about how good this book is, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be recommending it to my friends.
On hearing the plot, and being told that if you love Harry Potter (which I do), then this is the book to read, I was very keen to read it. I was fairly intrigued by the first few chapters, but I'm afraid to say that the more I read, the less I enjoyed it.
One of the great things about Harry Potter, is that although it's about magic, it's also about real life. People die and Harry looses the people closest to him. In this book, at first when Millie got into trouble, I was genuinely concerned that she'd escape alive, but after she managed to escape every ordeal practically unharmed (usually by using her new power she didn't know she had!), by the end when she got into trouble, I stopped caring, because I knew she'd survive!
Overall, very disappointing!

This is an original and pacy adventure story that has the reader hooked from early on. A really likeable female herione, Millie, ably assisted by her grandfather, travels the world in search of the pieces to create the Key to Chintak. Greats twists and observations follow. This is an outstanding debut novel and the author, John Howard, is definitely a name to watch.
