“A Fun Read”

When we left Scarlett and Mason in the first book, they were lost in the year 1379 after accidentally closing the time portal before it had been completely activated. Now they must figure a way of getting back home and carrying out more tasks to set the future on the right track. In this latest adventure we’re introduced to several new characters, as well as reunited with many of the ones from book one. The mad satyr – a man with a horse’s tail is one of the new characters, as is Sorcha the Great Sorcerer, which we will see more of in future volumes, I’m sure. After each new task, a curse is lifted on one of the islands, and the future looks better. So far there are six volumes in this series, so there are many more curses yet to be lifted, so stick around for the fun.

This was another fun read, with our youngsters discovering new adventures, friends, and adversaries. Children and adults will find this fantasy series a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

Discovering Witchetty Waters

Discovering Witchetty Waters is an exciting children's fantasy story which will keep you gripped from the outset (regardless of whether you're a child or not!) When Scarlett and Mason leave their humdrum Norfolk lives and move to an island off the Kentish Coast with their parents, their world is turned upside down. Their new home at Waters End on Witchetty Waters is just about as exciting, scary and as far away from 'normal' as it can get. Strangers gift them skull rings with magical powers, spell books are dusted off, and a weird axeman/forest dweller seems intent on scaring the living daylights out of the unwitting family. Scarlett, a 13 year old bookworm, and Mason her 9 year old brother, whose favourite hobby is to play practical jokes on everyone, are about to discover the real reason they have moved to Waters End. And it's all to do with an ancient quest which dates back to the 14th century. Of course, they can't do it alone, and helpful or otherwise, there is a whole host of magical, weird and wonderful creatures, fairies, goblins, sprites, witches and wizards to impact on their rollercoaster adventure at every turn. Can this young pair lift the ancient curse and right the wrong from Medieval Times? Will they follow orders or face being trapped in an alternative 14th century forever.

It’s time for Percy Tatterhill to retire and close his shop, putting Tom Beckett out of a job. But Percy has an offer for Tom and his family, move from Norfolk to Waters End and run the island for him. This sounds better than being out of a job, so off they go to Kentish Coast and the islands. 13-year old Scarlett and her 9-year old brother, Mason looks for a more interesting life and accept the move easily, not knowing what’s in store for them. For since the 1400s, magicians, wizards, and warlocks have been awaiting the arrival of special children to change history, and Scarlett and Mason are the chosen ones.

There are deeper problems than appear on the surface. Treasure has been hidden for 600 years but protected by the wizards, now the chosen ones must change the course of history and use that treasure for an orphanage on one of the islands, and a space ship from the Andromeda Galaxy dropped a preliminary invasion craft into our ocean near the islands 600 years ago, and it’s supposed to prepare the way for the aliens. This story covers the first task while the second book will cover the second task.

This was a fun little fantasy, reminding me of Disney’s animated Fairy Tales we’ve seen over the years, as well as some of the old fairy tales our mothers read to us when we were children. Young people will certainly enjoy the book, as will most adults. I know I did. Highly recommended.
