This is a fun imaginative series.  Myself, my ten-year-old son, and my 12 year old son all have enjoyed reading it.  Start the story here and then go get the rest of the series!

This is the 3rd book in the Michael Vey series. It continues to be quite intriguing! Unique premise, good plot development, and characters that are interesting and very likable. You want to keep following the adventures of both the "Electric" children and their "normal" friends. A few scenes can be disturbing but illustrate how evil the villains are. I will continue to read this imaginative and well-written series.

I'm a huge fan of this series. I love the wry humor and the mix of reality and fantasy that seems almost believable.

This is an unconventional and imaginative fantasy/parallel world series.  Duncan develops a parallel Earth with rather different astronomy, geography, and history.  Some forms of magic allow talented individuals to move back and forth from our Earth to the Earth of the Vales, the society next door.  The key feature is that strangers, people from our Earth on Valia or Valians in our universe, can acquire substantial magic powers through the accumulation of 'mana' stemming from acts of worship or sacrifice by the natives of that world.  On Valia, this results in a society dominated by 'strangers' who have set themselves up as deities.  The Great Game series describes a complex challenge to one of these deities in the form of the actions of the Earth born protagonist of this series, an idealistic Edwardian youth.  Duncan's parallel universe is constructed well and his writing is solid.  In several of his books, he has dealt with issues of duty and sacrifice, and this is no exception.  There is a particularly nice use of the confrontation of youthful Edwardian idealism with harsh political realities.  The plotting is clever as well, making creative use not only of the magical themes but also of the great influenza pandemic of 1917-18.

This is one of the best mythological-urban fantasy series I have ever read, and trust me, I've read a LOT.  The characters are clever, the dialogue is fun and we don't get mired down in swampwater waiting on things to happen.

This series was a wonderful experience. The author combines history, fantasy, violence , food, geography, economics, philosophy with a really funky love story. Imaginative  story plus good writing  and lots of twists. The multiple name changes were confusing
 I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I stumbled across this series wandering around Amazon & it sounded interesting enough to check out. A short way in to the first book I found I was liking the characters and the universe Weekes had created was pretty novel and fun. I liked it enough to go on to the second book and liked that enough to spend my time on the third.

By this point I guess I'd have to say I gave become a fan. These are characters I like hanging out with, the stories are inventive and engaging, and I'm very satisfied when I reach the end, though slightly disappointed that it's all over.

I'd probably give this a 4.5 stars if I could (but I can't, so 4 it is).

This is a wonderful series. It follows a little girl named Madeleine and her adventures. Madeleine meets Madame BonBon and her sweet shop. These are very short reads but they are amazingly creative and imaginative. I just love all the potions, sugary sweets, meats and cheeses. Madeleine finds herself in a pickle and Madame Pamplemousse comes to the rescue... maybe. I do recommend these books to all ages.

This series would make a great TV show. Filled with special powers never before associated with vampires these stories are imaginative and fun.

I really enjoyed this series of books.  I didn't want the last book to end.  The author has a good imagination and I look forward to her next book - hopefully including some of the characters from this series.

This series has certainly captured my imagination and I have read every single book I can get my hands on.  While the setting is in modern day England and there are some idioms you may not have heard before you will soon be up to speed, which I think brings a lot of charm to us Yanks.

I love this series! It's fast-paced, imaginative, and relatable for young readers, boys and girls alike. I highly recommend for kids who would enjoy disappearing in a world of realistic fantasy and animal adventures.
