Editorial Reviews

Review

'An engaging tale of good against evil involving magic and touching on love, loss and sacrifice. It is well-plotted with rounded characters and a satisfying ending.' -- Booktrusted (www.booktrusted.com) 'If you enjoyed The Chaos Clock, this is a must-read sequel. It's exciting and gripping from beginning to end.' -- Nathan, Teen Titles, Spring 2005 'Gill Arbuthnott sets David and Kate's fantastic adventures against the backdrop of Edinburgh and the surrounding countryside, including a terrifying incident at Rosslyn Chapel. Danger is never far away in this thrilling sequel.' -- Kathryn Ross, The Scotsman, 11 December 2004 'The Chaos Quest proves Gill Arbuthnott is no one-novel wonder. Folding a full-blooded "other" world into the very real-feeling living space of her teenage characters, Arbuthnott has created a fast paced fantasy thriller. A compellingly three-dimensional piece of fiction.' -- Lindsey Fraser, The Sunday Herald, 19 December 2004 'A good magical read with plenty of adventure.' -- Lewis, age 10, Education Otherwise, October 2004
