EARTH HAS COME UNDER THREAT OF INVASION AND ITS UP TO FOUR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN TO STOP IT.

For centuries, trillions of life forms throughout space have allowed humanity to believe we’re alone in the Universe. Any alien who dared to befriend us has met an unfortunate end: eaten, squashed, sent to a zoo, or even planted in a garden pot. But our advances in space exploration now threaten every civilisation across the Cosmos. Amelia, a savvy sweet-smart orphan, is one of four children selected from around the globe to represent humanity in the Human Inclusion Programme at the intergalactic STAR QUEST ACADEMY. Here they’ll unravel the Universe’s wonders, explore strange new worlds, and encounter magical creatures. Earth’s safety from invasion hinges on their success as cadets, but if any of them fail, Earth will be invaded by ruthless warlords. When a series of sinister incidents jeopardise their mission, it becomes clear that someone or something wants them to fail. The cadets must overcome their differences and combine their unique skills to save their world.

MY REVIEW

Star Quest Academy, is an extremely well written exciting new, science fiction novel, that’s fresh unusual, about a space adventure. I loved every single word, sentence and chapter. I just know all children will be tucked firmly into this super novel, unable to find themselves to close book. I throughly enjoyed authors, Adrian lynch’s debut book, so much that I’m proud for it to stay on my favourite book shelf. I’m even more happier knowing that this book is the first in a trilogy, so I can’t wait to read the next book in the trilogy. This clearly is going be a great bright colourful fiction book collection for any child’s book shelf. I connected with the name Amelia, as this was my late nans name. But I also connected with the main character Amelia, as she is strong willed. She always knew that she was different than everyone else at the children’s home. Amelia has the chance in a lifetime to escape the home run by the wicked Mr Belcher, with an offerer to get on a bus to space, before, Lord Fog, can conquer her world. Maybe someone needs to rescue me from where I am in a state of shock from the magnificent imagination from Adrian Lynch, who is now my new number one favourite children’s author.

My biggest special thanks to Zoe at zooloos book tours arranging for this fantastic book for me to read and review and for very kindly inviting me to take part in this wonderful blog tour 🫶

About author Adrian Lynch

Adrian was born a long time ago in Harrow Weald, North London. He is dyslexic, which wasn’t allowed in those unenlightened times. As a kid, when he wasn’t learning to be ‘normal’, (he failed), he would hang out in the nearby bluebell-carpeted woods. To him, they harboured space aliens, mysterious creatures and the ghosts of Grims Dyke whose mournful songs rustled autumnal leaves. This inspired stories that Adrian would tell eager audiences for pocket money. Following successful careers within the NHS and as a Company Director, Adrian obtained a BA degree in Creative Writing from the Open University and is now bringing those fantastical stories to life in his novels. Star Quest Academy is his debut novel, the first in a trilogy, and he hopes that it will be as exciting and fun to read as it was to write. It was shortlisted for the prestigious Eyelands International Book Awards in 2024. Adrian now lives in a quiet village in North Bedfordshire with an undisciplined garden and abundant wild birds. https://www.adrian-lynch.co.uk/
