Product Description

Review
" 'Kate Thompson writes with marvellous and magical ease' - Janni Howker, TES 'Daring and accomplished' - Books for Keeps 'A storyteller of genius' - Irish Times"

The Guardian, July 2, 2005
There is something hallucinatory, if not delirious about this stylish, magical book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read., 14 May 2006
This review is from: The New Policeman (New Policeman Trilogy) (Paperback)
This is a book full of mystery, magic, myth and music. It takes place in Ireland at a time when music was very important to the population. It is about a boy called JJ Liddy who sets off to buy his mother some time. Can he do the impossile task and manage to grant her wish? Full of surprises along the way, this book is a must for all kids aged 12+. Hard to put down and enjoyable from beginning to end. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical, 5 April 2006
By C Tissiman (Hertford, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
If you have any interest in Fairies, or if your feet itch to dance when you hear Irish music, this book is for you.

Follow a gripping tale of a young boy growing up with all the usual problems a young boy should have. A strange family that he finds out stories about as only a young boy can, through stories at school.

Along his journeys he finds out why we never seem to have enough time, and where the time is going along with those odd socks.

This book is too good for kids.

4.0 out of 5 stars enchanting, 30 Jun 2006
By D. Knott "honeybee" (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"The New Policeman" is one of the most enchanting, page turners I have read in recent years. A tale of fair folk, family and music.It solves the mystery of where all the time is going and where all the odd socks end up! Each chapter ends with a piece of Irish music, which I encourage everyone to play as it breathes more life into this enthralling story. The storyline itself is a "mystery" and keeps the reader engrossed until the end. Wonderful.
