Review
Rachel and Eric are one day swept into another world by a rush of wind, snatched away by the Witch to join the thousands of other children who have been captured over the centuries. But this time the witch has met her match, and Rachel refuses to do her bidding and so battle commences.
Reminiscent of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Cliff McNish's The Doomspell is a stunning , contemporary novel, cinematic in scope and brimming with magic, imagination and some of the most thrilling battles a young reader is ever likely to encounter. On this audio book version, silky voiced actress Sian Phillips takes on the reading of this mountainous story, and the result is an utterly compelling, challenging and totally absorbing treat that will have listeners gasping as each twist and turn of the story takes McNish's characters deeper and deeper into the battle of good versus evil.
This is truly thrilling stuff, and the book itself comes highly recommended. This audio version (despite the occasional rather irritating burst of dramatic music that rather takes you by surprise) succeeds in taking an already fantastic story and turning it into a stunning, rollercoaster of a tale that will have listeners literally gasping as the story unfolds.
If ever there was an audio book to keep the kids quiet on a long car journey, then this is it. Age 9 and over--Susan Harrison.
Review
High fantasy, richly imagined and refreshingly well-written - an excellent novel. (THE SUNDAY TIMES)
Brilliant, breathless and filled with action from page one. (KIDS OUT)
An incredible world in which the reader will become totally absorbed. (THE BOOKSELLER)
Gripping, racy, children have been fighting to borrow it. (THE GUARDIAN)
A vivid world of magical possibilities. (THE TIMES)
A thrilling and magical read - there is a real build up of suspense with plenty of twists and turns. It is full of brilliant descriptions of events, characters and places. (LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICE FOR SCHOOLS)
Places him firmly among much more well-known names such as Philip Pullman and C.S.Lewis - Ithrea is a truly complete world, and the characters are beautifully conceived to obtain an emotional response from the reader. (BOOKMONSTER)
