Review
Novels in which apparently ordinary children discover they are something special or have marvellous powers are always satisfying, and in Quicksilver by Sam Osman, Wolfie, Tala and Zi'ib are the three children who discover they have a date with destiny. Brought together in a dreary south London suburb, they find themselves caught up in a superbly constructed and vividly depicted tale of ley lines, ancient prophecies, interplanetary communication and a dog called Elvis. At stake is the discovery of a source of prehistoric energy strong enough to rule the galaxy, but there are others after it, too. The chase is on. --The Telegraph
It would be glib but not inaccurate to describe Quicksilver as Dan Brown for younger readers. The plot involves a search for lost knowledge, the unravelling of clues and coded conundrums and, at the heart of it, a mystery that mingles parascience with historical conspiracy. Wolfie, Tala and Zi'ib, three 12-year-olds from different countries, all have fathers who inexplicably disappeared. Using their wits and brains, and aided unwittingly by an eccentric old researcher, they discover powers relating to the nexus of ley lines that underlies the area. Smart entertainment, deftly done. --Financial Times
