Rainbow and Mr Zed
(Mammoth)
978-0749712884, RRP £2.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
The battle between little Nell (secretly Rainbow) and Mr Zed, her bad uncle Zebedee, aspiring to control forces that he should leave alone, builds to a marvellous climax of storm and contrary powers. Jenny Nimmo writes fantasy which is frequently magical while always plausible and readers who know her books generally or who have read Ultramarine, which precedes this, will need no further encouragement.
