On 5th December, me and a friend went to the Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies open day - http://www.swhp.co.uk/ There was a bookstall, and I just couldn't resist. Picked this up as it is a fantasy that I have not read.

This book has been compared to the Narnia Series in so many reviews, and I guess I can see the resemblance. But for me it didn't quite have the same magic and wonder that the Narnia books inspired in me as both a child and an adult reader.

That said, it was a good, scary adventure. That is truly one terrifying witch, with four sets of teeth, tattooed eyes and spiders coming out of her mouth! I actually had a bit of a hard job visualising what the author thought she looked like, but that might be a good thing!

I liked the fact that Eric had a bigger role to play than just needing rescuing by his sister! And the ending was suitably sweet for a Children's story, while leaving it wide open for the sequel.

Congratulations! You have found a traveling book.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this site and letting us know what this book has been up to since it was released into the wild. I hope you enjoy reading it, but even if it isn’t your type of thing, then I’m sure there will be someone out there who will love it. This book is now yours, so feel free to keep it. However, I would be grateful if you could leave all the stickers in place and pass it on again once you’ve finished with it – you could give it to a friend, donate it to a charity shop or just leave it lying around somewhere to be picked up again by a total stranger. If you would like to get regular updates on what the book is doing in the future, then why not join Bookcrossing too…it’s fun, friendly and free.

Thanks again and happy reading!
