Reviews

The eponymous Dog has a Dahl-esque existence in this unusual animal adventure that takes her and her animal companions from a run-down pet shop to the vibrant Amazonian jungle. Quirky, moving and ultimately uplifting

—— Fiona Noble , The Bookseller

The things that make these books thrilling are constant - Michael Scott's intricate grasp of mythology and history, the action-packed plotlines, and his larger-than-life characters. There's enough fantasy, myth, wizardry and adventure to engage young and adult readers alike

Witty and funny and exciting, just like the first book. Marcus made a great narrator again . . . It was really intriguing and I think many kids would be hooked on this series of books

—— Readaraptor

Absolutely unputdownable. I raced through it, it was so addictive and I enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't want it to end! I can't recommend this series enough! Read it, then give it to any child you know . . . and then let me know, did YOU guess the ending, or am I the only idiot who didn't?!

—— Bookster Reviews

Bartimaeus is as sardonic, egotistical, and mouthy as ever. This is a superior fantasy.

—— Publishers Weekly

Bartimaeus is back, and he's better than ever! For fans of Bartimaeus, this is an absolute must-buy. For those not yet introduced to him, you may want to give him a try!

—— BCF Book Reviews

Deservedly shortlisted for this year's Costa prize is Jonathan Stroud's The Ring of Solomon....It has magic, intrigue, wit and sassy footnotes.

—— Alison Jay , The Sunday Time

Pace, drama, magic and exotic colour, with Bartimaeus there to give an irreverent, current feel to a story set in the ancient past.
