Wonderscape Reviews

A lead title from Walker: Bell puts a clever and highly immersive spin on the middle-grade fantasy adventure. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
I thought it was a bogglingly brilliant story for readers and gamers alike. A whirlwind of fun and mystery across space and time. A triumph of friendship, courage and brains over adversity, villains, and plots. And robots! * Thomas Taylor *
It was such an intelligent, well-crafted, immersive, and exhilarating read! Thank you for sending it to me. As I said on Twitter: it has all the mind-expanding wonder of A Wrinkle in Time, the tech-wizardry of Ready Player One, and a generous sprinkling of Jen's own unique magic. It'll be unmissable when it publishes. * Sinead O'Hart *
A breakneck sci-fi romp that's perfect for gamers, puzzle fiends and fact-fans. * Ross Montgomery *
The plight of the three protagonists, not only through the game but with the issues they face at home, will keep you enthralled and very often on the edge of your seat throughout their journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to being able to share it within school. * Teacher via Toppsta *
