This is the irst book I have read by this author and I loved it!!
There is something weird going on in the Hexwood estate. People keep arriving and disappearing through the iron gates, never to be seen coming back out. Ann, ill and bored, watches the comings and goings from her bedroom window, until she feels compelled to enter the place herself. What she finds is a wood that seems bigger than she remembers, with waterfalls, castles, knights and dragons. It also seems unfixed in time and she never knows how old her companions will be when she meets them. While across the galxy, the Reigners, the five rulers of a vast empire, are beginning to wonder why they suddenly can't talk to their offices on earth - and dispatch their deadly Servant to find out what has gone wrong.
This is one of those great children's books that appeals to adults as well - I really enjoyed my time amongst it's pages. My favourite bit was when the wood turns into the Great Wood of old, with unicorns and satyrs suddenly appearing amongst the tress - a wood I think I would be at home in!!
Hope you enjoy it - I can't imagine that you wouldn't!!

Taken out of lellie's Tiny Little Bookbox. As Mt TBR is massive as usual it may take me a while to get to this.
Sorry this has been on Mt TBR for so long, I'm trying to read as fast as I can, but the mountain just keeps growing.
I really though that I'd enjoy this but I found it so difficult to get into that I gave up in the end.

I really enjoyed reading this book. So many clever ideas, mind-twisting time-changes, interesting characters and funny too, sometimes.
