Critics Review
Praise for Darkmouth: “Shane Hegarty explodes into the fantasy universe with Darkmouth. Hilarious and exciting. Terrifying and heart-stopping. Everything a great fantasy series should be. The next big thing is here.” - Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl
Packed with wonderful characters and imaginative gadgets, and the fast-paced action is underpinned with a dry wit. - Daily MailHegarty understands the importance of humour for young readers. One of the great pleasures of being scared is the release of laughter that comes afterwards, and Darkmouth is peppered with sly, gentle wit. - The Irish TimesAbout The Author
