Product Description

Product Description

The Princelings of the East is the first of a trilogy telling of the adventures of Fred and George.

When the King's Birthday feast is ruined by an unnatural power drain, our Princeling heroes leave their scientific experiments to set out in search of answers. They encounter the enigmatic businessman Hugo, the impressive Prince of Buckmore, the wise Lady Nimrod, the irrepressible barkeep Victor, but find themselves threatened by those with vested interests. The scene shifts from a rural, feudal setting to the towers and heights of the curious Isle of Hattan, but where, or when, are they? Time is of the essence in solving this puzzle, and our heroes must keep their wits sharp and their heads clear if they are to survive.

Suitable for ages 8 and over, The Princelings of the East is a fantasy adventure with the charm of the Wind in the Willows in a world reminiscent of Anne MacCaffrey's Pern.

It's a charming adventure story in which our Princeling heroes set out from their castle to solve the puzzle of the Energy Drain. They split up by mistake, one going off with a stranger (what did your mother tell you, Fred?) and the other taking a wrong turning and going through a time tunnel. Both of them meet fascinating characters in well-imagined and described settings. I particularly enjoyed George's escapade with a mad professor called Saku among the towers and streets of Hattan.

There are two things that kept me from giving it five stars. One is the Energy Drain - why is it such a big deal in what seems like a low-tech society? And the second is the characters. If you read the author's blurb she mentions being inspired by her guinea pigs, Fred and George. If you frequent one of the guinea pig forums on the web that I do, you may have met them and some of the other characters too. The descriptions of them and the food they eat are all in keeping with them being guineapigs, so why not just say so. We can cope with animals riding round in carriages, inventing things, ruling over castles! The tradition of Wind in the Willows, The Fantastic Mr Fox and many others paves the way. Has G-Force put you off Ms Pett? Well, don't let it :) Your readers will enjoy them much more clearly if they understand they aren't humans.

But I really enjoyed the tale, which is well told with excellent characterisations and plot twists. And I enjoyed the sequel even more.

This is an unusual book,with very likeable characters.
I found it hard to put down, as I wanted to know what would happen next.
There is plenty of action, and a mysterious plot which keeps the reader guessing.
I can't wait to read the next book, The Princelings and the Pirates, to see what adventures Fred and George have next! :o)
