Another great read

Philip Reeves is a real treat. These books are branded as teen reads, but they are ageless like Harry Potter.
Reeves is soooo witty! Like reading Douglas Adams mixed with Rowling and a little Terry Gilliam sprinkled in.

The narrator, Barnaby Edwards is like a one man theatre troupe! I swear there are 10 actors performimg he is that good.
