Ella

Eighth-grader

“Alfie is an awesome character! He was the perfect balance of introverted yet funny and weirdly extroverted too (which is very middle school-teenager-esque).”

Amy & Bowen

Gareth

Creative, entrepreneur, & consultant

"The characters are compelling, the pace is terrific, the peril is gripping and the action creates a film in your mind. Alfie's adventures are the best children's adventures since The Goonies, and I loved The Goonies!"

Neil

Actor and Musician

“Your writing really paints a vivid picture. The characters live and the creatures really crawl through your mind and stay with you."

 Alfie may be cooler than Harry Potter! He's the right mix of funny and serious and wants to do good but makes mistakes. The stories really feel true-to-life, but the action is savage and scary even though you know, or at least hope, they're going to survive

 I didn't want to put the book down. The chapters end right at a point where you want to keep reading. I finished it in one day and a bit of the night. Tally is amazing and is easily the best character in the story. She's fearless, funny and always has something wicked to say.

 I liked the mystery and adventure of the stories. It felt like Stranger Things and Dr Who, and it made it feel like it could happen. I loved learning about American stuff through the sort of experience of an English person. My favourite was probably Milos. I would be just like him if I were in the story.
