The Shadow of Malabron by Thomas Wharton
Walker, 2008. ISBN 9781406312508.
This
book is about a boy named Will Lightfoot who takes his father's
motorbike for a
ride and gets hurled into the Perilous Realm, which is home to many
great and
mysterious creatures. When Will finds his companion, Shade, who is sent
to
accompany him on his journey home, he realizes that it is not that
simple to
get home, and in order to get home, he must face the 'Night King' and
his army
of fetches and other weird creatures.
Personally,
I didn't like the book because of its supernatural baseline. I mean, if
you
like talking wolves, wizards and weird creatures and Harry Potter type
of books
then yeah, it's a great book.
I
would recommend this book towards 11-15 year olds, especially those who
like
Harry Potter type things, as I said. Enjoy reading this as you get
catapulted
into The Perilous Realm.
