    Caro King has created a wonderful surprise in Seven Sorcerers. Not only has she created an interesting plot and great characters, but she also developed a history for the land itself.

    This would suit older children but just a little warning - it has a slightly scary touch.

    Jam-packed with magic, danger, monsters and mysterious events, this import never quite lives up to its potential.

    Caro King is a masterful world builder. What Cornelia Funke does in 500 pages, she does in 300 and leaves the reader wanting more.

    It is slightly dangerous, totally invigorating, and has drawn me into a world in a way that few children's authors manage.

    The story is quite predictable in some parts but it doesn't mean it's not fun to read. However the ending was too quick and too abrupt.

    Seven Sorcerers was a delightful surprise. It takes a potentially overused setting and gives it such a refreshingly original plot and cast of characters that I would highly recommend it.
