For all the progress and the developments that human beings had managed to achieve, they still hadn’t worked out how to handle people who were different.

3.5 rounded up. Ending seemed a bit rushed. Overall though, this is a fun trilogy aimed at Middle Grade that I wish I had available to me at that age!

As with all Hollow Earth books, I feel like it concludes too quickly. Lots and lots of build up for pages and pages, and then with a few quick strokes the book is over.
That being said I am still enthralled by the Guardians and Animare that the Barrowmanns have created. A world fueled by art and imagination is one I have enjoyed visiting through this trilogy, and am sad to see it conclude.

A brilliant children's book and another thrilling instalment to the series which I absolutely loved reading. I can't recommend the Barrowman siblings' books enough. A more mature version of 'The Magic Key' books in some ways, a book which will appeal to both genders alike. A fantastic book but unfortunately, I felt this wasn't as good as it's two predecessors. Adults and children alike will enjoy this series, I always quickly read these books and the chapters are extremely short which makes it brilliant for children to read aloud.
