The Adventures of Charlie & Moon

Hi Everyone, We are down to the wire. Just reading through the last galley and then we are off to the printer's. The cover is done (it's being kept secret) and here is our first review.

“The Adventures of Charlie & Moon is charming! It will appeal to a wide range of children but should be especially welcome to younger fans of the Harry Potter books. It has the classic feel and lovely language of Tolkien but with plenty of contemporary bits. I particularly liked the wonderfully flowery descriptions of people and places. The ‘English-ness’ might have turned off some readers before Harry Potter but now even the youngest kids know what ‘cream buns’ and ‘waistcoats’ are. I also love that the violence is kept low key & somewhat cartoon-y. I can’t wait to have it in the store.” Kat Goddard New England Children’s Booksellers
