Critic Reviews
“Move over Harry Potter, it is time for Jake Djones to take the limelight. Almost too exciting for bedtime reading”
"Today's answer to Harry Potter crossed with The Hunger Games" Tatler "The characters are lively and hilarious, and there are some brilliant action scenes and plenty of hair-raising cliffhangers. Circus Maximus is a joy to read, and is guaranteed to entertain." -- Julia Eccleshare Lovereading4kids.co.uk "... An action-packed and entertaining story, which young readers will find hard to put down." Booktrust 20121105 "The History Keepers is a great series for young and old alike; with agents, double-agents and spies, you never know where Jake will end up as he attempts to stop those who would change history!" Fantasybookreview.co.uk 20120822 "... The plot is superfast, and is just the kind of story that could suck in even the most reluctant of readers." bookzone4boys 20120918
