Many thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy of this book.
As I said, this is a superb year for books for 9-12 year olds (especially ones that can be enjoyed by older readers too!) Upcoming debut [[The Dreamsnatcher by Abi Elphinstone]] will delight fantasy fans, while mystery lovers are spoilt for choice - [[The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place by Julie Berry]] is a gem from across the Atlantic, while closer to home, I've been lucky enough to read ''Arsenic For Tea'' by Robin Stevens already. This sequel to [[Murder Most Unladylike (Wells & Wong Mystery 1) by Robin Stevens]] is, like Bloodstone, even better than its predecessor! As well, Jon Mayhew's wonderful Monster Odyssey series, which starts with [[Monster Odyssey: The Eye Of Neptune by Jon Mayhew]] continues with ''Curse of the Ice Serpent'' - another massively exciting read.
