Terrifically entertaining book with charming, memorable characters and exciting adventures throughout. You'll route for the good guys and despise (and occasionally laugh at) the bad guys. There are many nicely balanced scenes where genuine danger and heroic derring-do mesh together very well. A great book to read aloud to younger children. Older children will want to take this book away and race through it breathlessly by themselves. Though not quite as complex as Harry Potter, adults will still greatly enjoy the world and people of Septimus Heap.
