I have just read Brontë Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds by Bex Hogan. It tells the tale of Brontë who is the first ‘all children’ attendee of Sir Sebastian’s School for Squires. Set in the magical and mystical Everdale Brontë meets Sammy known as Tonkins on her first day and the two pair up. Just as well as they need to confront and battle gnomes, horrorflies, zombits, badleys, fixels and the like helped by a fire kitten and a griffin. With the various Kingdoms, weird and wonderful creatures and with fabulous alliteration throughout this is an action packed, faced paced, fun adventure of a read. The part and full page illustrations by Hannah McCaffrey are brilliant and complement the book and the whole experience. A wonderful bedtime or independent read depending on age I would highly recommend this book and the Brontë Tempestra series.
