How fun! The whole concept of common and uncommon was so cool. I had a jolly good time with this!
When I started this book, I was very sceptical. As a huge Potterhead, everything seemed to be a parodying Harry Potter, which I disliked. This is the reason that I have given this book 4 stars, not 5.
A ok book, very unique idea. Don’t know if I’ll continue.
What an amazing children's book... Oh wow.
Wonderfully imagined, like Neil Gaiman for children..
Perfect for boys and girls (brother and sister team up)
Twists, turn and plenty of adventure!!
I live it and I'm so pleased I get to recommend it as the Waterstones children's book for June..

Unique but I felt it got a bit long-winded (especially for the target age group). It was HP-esque in a way and a bit of the Borrowers also?– easy to see the influence. I really enjoyed the imaginative ideas of using “common” household objects and turn them into their opposites. Mr. Weasley would be a big fan!!!
The brother/sister relationship felt like a hard push – as the sister is the brains and the brother, possibly, the muscle? He really didn’t get much of a story, yet, this is the first of the series so maybe he develops more as the story goes on.
I picked it up because Jayne Entwistle is the narrator for the audiobook – and I listen to anything she works on.

Wat een hartstikke leuk boek is dit. Behoorlijk spannend en origineel en schitterende illustraties. Zalig.
Jammer voor mij (want volgens mij ben ik de enige die dat irritant vindt) dat de schrijfster helemaal los is gegaan op hoe fantastisch Lundinor mag zijn, het had wat mij betreft wel wat minder geworden. Maar dat is ECHT een kwestie van smaak (en waarschijnlijk mijn leeftijd hihi). De vaart van het verhaal klopte wat mij betreft niet helemaal, ik denk dat dat het ook was.
