Re-reading one of my all-time favourite series, and I was struck anew by just how good this book is.  There were so many details that I have never picked up on before, so it felt just as gobsmackingly expansive now, at 32, as it did when I read it for the first time more than twenty years ago. I feel so fortunate to have grown up reading authors who take children’s intelligence this seriously, and who have the courage and ambition to invite young people into challenging, dark and complicated literature. Never ban books!
