This book was an unputdownable, action packed adventure full of wit and humour.
Peregrine Quinn and her godfather Daedalus are on a secretive mission in the world famous Bodleian Library when things start to go very wrong and the portals (one of which they are trying to hack into) shut down, taking all of their guards with them. Peregrine had long listened to Daedalus telling tales of the Cosmic Realm but until this moment, she never imagined they were real. Her reality is tipped on its head as Daedalus is kidnapped and Peregrine must race against both time and three of Zeus’s thunderbolts to save him and the Realms. She must depend on her new friends, Rowan, Cal and Nim (who runs Hero Support Services, like a Cosmic version of ‘Q’ from Bond, with a duck!) plus a mystical plant called Bernadette but most of all, she has to depend on herself.
With an Under Under Ground, Glam Passes, CosPad Pros, Grumbugs and more tech than an Apple store could wish for, the magical world building of this amazing debut novel is set against the backdrop of Oxford, libraries and Mount Olympus and mixes action packed adventure with wit and humour (did you know that Zeus has retired and much like Alex from Blur, now runs a goat farm and makes cheese?!). It is the perfect combination of mythology and futuristic fantasy with vibes of Artemis Fowl combined with Percy Jackson but with a feisty, female lead and a host of strong supporting characters. When you add in a traitor, two scary henchmen and a Goddess of Chaos, the result is totally unputdownable.
