MY REVIEW
All children will love this book, who like reading about magic and a magician.
Twelve year old Evie is a special girl she has the strangest dream, that in a theatre she was doing a magical act, when inside it started raining, with a sleeping audience in the front row.
When Evie was on the way to school, she sees a black cat with one blue eye and one yellow the same one in her dream.
Evie’s day gets even stranger she recognised a man from her dream with a bright orange beard, and wearing exactly the same clothes, but who is he? The greatest magic is hidden in plain sight! I can see why this book was shortlisted for the Costa Children’s Book Awards. I highly recommend Spellstone this magical adventure to all children.
I would like to thank Walker for sending me this book to read and review.
About author Ross Montgomery
Ross Montgomery has worked as a pig farmer, a postman and a primary school teacher, so writing books was the next logical step. He spent his childhood reading everything he could get his hands on, from Jacqueline Wilson to Beano annuals, and it taught him pretty much everything that’s worth knowing. If you looked through his pockets you’d find empty crisp packets, lists of things to do, and a bottle of that stuff you put on your nails to stop you biting them. He lives in London with his girlfriend, a cat called Fun Bobby, and a cactus on every available surface.
