Review
"I don't read fantasy" I say all the time to Vicky but this book had me hooked. Okay yes its a teenager's book so what, I had a go and can not wait for the sequel out in a few days!
There is an unusual cover for the book, it is a plastic safety sleeve, to protect what's hidden inside. But on this occasion just what is in the headlines on the back cover - which says "One Boy" "One Deadly Prophecy" "One Heart Stopping Adventure" made me just want to read it. I'm so thrilled that I managed to understand and get so caught up in what was happening. Your heart ends up in your mouth on many an occasion. The tale speeds along so fast that it makes you want to keep reading and see if Joshua succeeds in his tasks, and if he will find what he sets out to find.
This I believe is one of a trilogy and as I have said the next is out in a few days, so perhaps I have found one kind of fantasy book I can read!
