This book is full of magic and mythical creatures. It is a very twisty book that makes you hold your breath until the very end. I recommend this book to anyone who loves magic.

I read the second book "Beyond Platform 13" a while ago so I was excited to find this one. I think it was a really good prequel because it was very magical and I'm a big fan of magic and mythological creatures.

When you read it you can get nervous because his granny died and if you had a relative who died it can remind you of that. But, the ending was very good. The whole mission was to find the king and queen’s lost son, and in the end they did!

I definitely recommend this book to people who are fans of harry potter! A magical tale about a island called the Mist which you get through by entering through a gump. My favourite character is Ben and Odge because they are both kind and thoughtful. This was a really fun book and was amazing!

I love this book because it helps you understand that the ugliest people can be so much kinder than those who are pretty.
