The Moon in Swampland by M P Robertson
Hidden in the dark, marshy bogs of Swampland, the wicked and mischievous bogles hide from the Moon, and lie in wait for travellers. Anyone who wanders too close to the edge will feel clammy fingers dragging them beneath the murky water. When the Moon saves a young boy called Thomas, she gets captured by the bogles, and Thomas must set out to save her. Can he end the bogles' reign of terror?
A scary tale that is perhaps best not read at bedtime, but one which will definitely capture vivid imaginations and may spark a fair few creative writing juices flowingJunior A lavishly produced book, with imaginative colour reconstructions, diagrams and photographs, all updated since it was originally published in 1994. It is an excellent buy for adults and children alike, who want to know more about one of the giants of our prehistoric past. Books for Keeps It is always exciting coming across a new picture book from this wonderful artist, and sure enough this latest title lives up to his highest standards. -- Nicholas Tucker Carousel
