Here are the occasional reflections of a joyful traveller along the strange pathways of fantasy and adventure. All my reviews are independent and unsolicited. I read many books that I don’t feel sufficiently enthusiastic about to review at all. Rather, this blog is intended as a celebration of the more interesting books I stumble across on my meandering reading journey, and of the important, life-affirming experiences they offer. It is but a very small thank you for the wonderful gifts their writers give.

Bone Jack for US publication

 

Great news for US readers. I have just discovered that Sara Crowe's stunning debut YA novel is to be published there in early 2017. Dark, dangerous and disturbing, it is a gripping read and lovers of fine writing for young people should certainly look out for it. It is one of the real UK gems of recent years. You can see a full review in my post from June '14 when I first read it here. It has been quite a long time crossing the pond, but will be well worth the wait.
