Happily, the book ends neatly and satisfyingly, and we're not left feeling obliged to buy number two in the series. I think though, that most children would be pleased to discover that Nian is likely to visit another world, this time perhaps not our world, some time soon. Easy to read and well-plotted, ''The Truth Sayer'' is a comforting and kindly fantasy read for 9s and up. We enjoyed it.
My thanks to the publishers for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Truth Sayer: March of the Owlmen by Sally Prue]].
If your child enjoys stories about children with magical powers, they might also enjoy P R Morrison's [[The Wind Tamer]]. Older children might enjoy the more complicated ideas about travel between worlds in Madeline L'Engle's [[A Wrinkle In Time]].
