Very exciting adventure story for anyone who enjoyed Harry Potter and Narnia type fantasy books. Gripping tale and hard to put down - great for 8-12 year old fantasy & adventure lovers

Das schönste Jugend-Fantasy Buch, dass ich seid langem gelesen habe! Ein toller Auftakt freue mich auf die nächsten beiden Bände! Volle Punktzahl und eine absolute Leseempfehlung !

The first thrilling book in the most exciting children's fantasy series since Harry Potter. They were taken from their beds one frozen night, when the world was covered in snow. The silhouette of a tall, thin man has haunted Kate ever since. Ten years on, Kate, Michael and Emma have grown up in a string of miserable orphanages, and all memories of their parents have faded to a blur. Arriving at Cambridge Falls, the children quickly realise there is something different about this place - and Kate feels sure she has seen the dark, crooked house before. As they explore, they discover an old, empty leather book. The moment they touch it, an ancient magical prophecy is set irrevocably in motion, and the children are thrown into a dangerous alternate reality of dark enchantments and terrifying monsters. Only they can prevent the terrible event that will ruin Cambridge Falls - and stop the world from falling into complete devastation.
