This was a very enjoyable urban fantasy style story - with a group of British teenagers meeting a faerie and getting access to another world. It's packed with wonder and humour and moves at a pleasantly fast pace. Overall it has something of a young adult vibe to it, partly because of the young central characters, and it reminded me a little in subject and tone of the Joe Cornish movie 'The Kid Who Would be King'. I had a great time with it, despite not being much of a fantasy fan, and definitely recommend it. Would also make a great pick for younger readers.
