Somewhat shocked, the squirrel tells them that their father is actually a prince from another realm, a place that has now been taken over by the King of Night because of his absence. Rather than panic, they begin to formulate a plan to find and rescue him. The squirrel takes them into this new realm, and when they are there they realise that they have new powers, and that these may be the key to reaching and rescuing their father.
I have read a number of Hamilton’s books now, but most of those were adult science fiction, not the target audience for this first venture into children’s books. He has managed to create a good story with this one, there is plenty of action, and a few twists along the way too. He has even managed to sneak in wormholes and time travel paradoxes too! It is a touch predictable, but I am sure that the target audience will enjoy it. I will find out from my daughters as I have passed it to them to read. ( )
