This exciting tale for early teens takes the form of a Quest story. Jack and his school friend Steph set off to discover Jack's true parentage. They have help in the form of Puck, from the Realm of Faerie but are similarly hindered by a number of creatures sent by a dark enemy. The latter's aim is to prevent the success of the quest and to kill Jack. When we learn of Jack's real parents it's not surprising that he has some unusual gifts.This story is beautifully told and includes creatures from mythology which may be familiar to the reader. Some of the characters were brilliantly drawn and I really fell for them. The story deals with both lighter and darker emotions and does not talk down to the younger reader. A really good read for any age.flag
