Not since Roald Dahl have children filled their shelves so compulsively

He is a wonderful storyteller, immersed in his own kingdom

The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler is a dream come true for book lovers, child and adult alike . . . certainly deserving of becoming a classic in the future.

Working in the grand tradition of children’s fantasy, Wexler’s off to a promising start

A charming, adventuresome fantasy from a promising new author

Will gratify book lovers and fantasy experts alike

A refreshing and unique tale – one that rises above the clichés it could so easily have fallen into – that entertains on every level. It’s pitched perfectly to its audience (as well as those who are a few years older...) and, while only time will tell if it becomes a classic, it treats the familiar tropes with care and respect, leaving the reader wanting more after the final page has been turned.

This is a brilliant story, and Django Wexler is a name to remember - as if you could forget it!

Rich and dense and creative
