Critics Review
Cracking adventure from the wildly imaginative Montgomery. * The Daily Mail *
Funny, terrifying, full of folkloric strangeness hiding in everyday corners, this sparkling homage to David Bowie’s Labyrinth is just as satisfying as last year’s The Midnight Guardians.
* The Guardian *Lovers of fantasy will find a skillful mix of tradition and invention in The Chime Seekers, the latest whirlwind adventure by Ross Montgomery.
* The Daily Telegraph *I’ve long been a fan of Ross Montgomery but, along with The Midnight Guardians, The Chime Seekers is story-telling in a different league […] a concept perfectly poised to capture children’s imaginations and take them on this most fabulous journey into the magical world of British folklore. – Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
This richly imaginative tale shows faeries at their darkest and most sinister, but there are plenty of funny moments along the way. * The Week Junior *
