Will Gallows is not your average boy. Finding out the name of the baddie who gunned down his policeman father, he takes it upon himself to get revenge, by bringing him in - even though he's the nastiest gunslinger around. Oh, and a troll with snakes coming from his belly. Will, being not your average boy, is a half-elf, however, and can talk to his flying horse to help him on his way. But is there more to the story of his father's death than he thinks, and just what is it with all the earthquakes his town is suffering?
His town is not a usual one, either, as three or four towns are perched on top of a huge cactus-shaped rock in this fantasy world. Deeper down, nearer the bole of the cactus, is Deadrock, a subterranean hell-hole, where - of course - Will must solve all his problems. The fantasy side of this story is very strong, from the unusual setting, which is portrayed very vividly and enjoyably, to the standard mix of trolls, goblins, half-elves and talking horses.
I must thank the kind Andersen Press people for my review copy.
We recommend the same audience get in early on another new series boding great things - [[Spindlewood: Pip and the Wood Witch Curse by Chris Mould]]. We've also enjoyed [[Will Gallows and the Wolfer's Deadly Magic by Derek Keilty and Jonny Duddle|Will Gallows and the Wolfer's Deadly Magic]]. or [[Will Gallows and the Rock Demon's Blood by Derek Keilty|Will Gallows and the Rock Demon's Blood]] both by Derek Keilty
