Critics Review
[A] witty, fast-paced adventure from the children’s laureate. * The Guardian *
From the former Children’s Laureate comes an exciting new series, part Indiana Jones, part Ghostbusters, part Pokémon, but all very much its own. Brilliant. * Netgalley *
This adventure from the outgoing Children’s Laureate is a fresh take on Aladdin. * The Courier Dundee *
Former Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho’s new series is sure to work its magic on young readers! … The story is immensely satisfying and there’s a great cast of characters… Hyun Song We’s illustrations of the genies and the action are terrific. Genie-us all round! * Love Reading 4 Kids *
a brilliant tangle of high tech, magical and historical adventure that ranges through time and geography at a cracking pace […] There’s a great cast of fantastic and fantastical characters - genies, genie hunters, pirates, school children and some wonderfully told history as Relic goes backwards and forwards in time. […] There is so much in this magical world that it is impossible to discover it all in just one novel and the characters are so engaging that you really want to continue meeting them. I was delighted to find out that this is the first book in the series and like many readers I am sure, I can’t wait for the further adventures of Relic Hamilton. * Books for Keeps *
