When Nick follows to come to Susans rescue he finds himself in a worldI think it is an amazing book, it is full of great sentences and it is a must read book, it is family friendly and a great read!
This is a classic New Zealand novel. I read it when I was a Primary School 30 years ago and have read it again since then. Maurice Gee has a great way with words that shows the story. The Trilogy that this book is part of is also a great read for anyone from ages 10 - 14. If you like action, adventure, tension and goodies verse baddies you will enjoy this story. In a way it's like a very gentle introduction to stories like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
A great opening but a bit of an "and" story throughout, alas.
i decided to read this book because it was suggested to me so i could cross off 'a book written by a new Zealanders' category.this book fits into the ' a book written by a new Zealand author', i found this category interesting because it is interesting to read other styles of writing rather than you typical american or english books.my favourite quote of the book is 'I remember slimy tasteless food. I remember grey. I remember ugliness, of the soul and of action. I remember fear.' i like this
