Limbo Lodge

Joan Aiken
(Hutchinson)
224pp, 978-0224046640, RRP £12.99, Hardcover
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Limbo Lodge (James III sequence)" on Amazon

This is the latest in the ‘Wolves of Willoughby Chase’ saga and finds Dido Twite in the Pacific looking for Lord Herodsfoot on the mysterious Island of Aratu.

A rich blend of imagination, magic and exciting adventure ensues, where the novel ideas come thick and fast as problem after problem is overcome in the quest to defeat the evil intentions of Manoel, who works tirelessly to overthrow his reclusive, ruler brother, John King.

This is not an easy read and will initially require some stickability. But patience will be rewarded once young readers are hooked!
