Customer Reviews

What fun!

Got this for my god daughter last week in the hope of turning her on to something other than harry potter and the like. This lead to scolding from her parents, because she stayed up the whole night reading the book. She not only loved it, but demanded a sequel. She of course begged me to read it and now I am hooked. Mccoy really is a great new writer who has woven a tale full of tremendous fun and whimsy. He has two huge fans in my god daughter and me. I chose well with this one. Please write another one quick!

Great new writer

McCoy is a fresh voice in literature. He has a tone and style that are distinctive and wrapped around an imaginative story. Let's hope he writes more, and for adults too.
