Summary

As for nearly all Diana Wynne Jones books', I could not put this book down at all! This is a great book but has some ups and downs.

Something is rotten in the village of Melstone. Aidan Cain has had the worst week of his life. Creepy, sinister beings want him dead. What's a boy to do? With danger nipping at his heels, Aidan flees to Melstone, a village teeming with magic of its own. There he is taken in by Andrew Hope, the new master of Melstone House, who has some supernatural troubles too. Someone is stealing power from the area—mingling magics—and chaos is swiftly rising. Are Aidan's and Andrew's magical dilemmas connected somehow? And will they be able to unite their powers and unlock the secrets of Melstone before the countryside comes apart at the seams?

Good Points

• Comical
• Original
• A mix with magic and modern technology.
• Lots of mystery

Bad Points

• Not much suspense or thrilling sequences.
• The characters do not have much of their own unique behaviors, and they seem to not develop much throughout the story.

Overall

Awsome! If you are looking for a really good, relaxing read, go for it. Though if you are looking for some book filled with action go for another Diana Wynne Jones book such as Howl's Moving Castle.
