Product Description

Product Description
When Jessica's parents are tragically killed in a car crash, she goes to live with her grandparents in their big old house in Connecticut. Bullied at her new school because of the injury she suffered in the crash, Jessica finds solace in her favourite fairies and the pictures she loves to draw. One day she suffers bad concussion after falling downstairs at school, and while recovering at home she hears the strange sound of children's voices calling for help. At first Jessica cannot work out where the voices are coming from, but eventually she discovers from a mysterious but kindly old neighbour that they are in fact coming from inside her bedroom wallpaper. Attempting to overcome her own disbelief, Jessica and some friends venture into the world inside her wall where they find an extraordinary land where everyday household objects like spoons and hats take on a life of their own. But there is great danger to be found inside this hidden world, and it is up to Jessica to rescue the strange children whose voices she had heard, before it's too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hidden World, 20 Aug 2004
By Alistair M Campbell (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent fairy tale for all ages. Most people seem to have a coupe of good books in their tank but Graham keeps putting out excellent novels. This is a sort of nasty version of Alice thru the looking glass. Well worth reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Hidden World - A 'Must Read' Novel, 19 Jun 2003
By A. Hardy (Rowley Regis, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although it is one of the shorter of Graham Masterton's stories that I have read, it is definitely no 'short sell'. It is a very engrossing, well written and faintly horrific fairy tale. It certainly made me re-evaluate the fairy stories I heard as a child.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough and would recommend this book to those who have never read Mr Masterton's books before.

3.0 out of 5 stars Something different, 4 Mar 2007
By Mr. G. Battle (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Here's an offering from Masterton which is outside his usual genre. The Hidden World is a fairy tale, sinister, but not horrific (except for one grisly scene). The book is surprisingly short, just 182 pages, and therefore there is little digression. Therefore you are presented with a compact tale, with ample characterisation and lots of originality. The closest comparison to other works would be with Clive Barker's work, such as Abarat. A good book, but not enough of any one emotion to make it on to a Best Book list. A few hours well spent none-the-less.
