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.

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.

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!

Lovely backstory, storyline and characters
I find it a little sad that any book featuring a school, children and magic must now be compared to Harry Potter, or at the very least, marketed to HP fans, as though there were no... Read more
