Review:
I know a lot of books are called 'classics', but this one is the real thing. It's Book 2 in the marvellous Jesse Jameson Alpha to Omega series written by British children's fantasy writer, Sean Wright.
The three things of many that stood out for me were the break-neck pace of the narrative, exciting action, and intriguing plot twists. Jesse Jameson and the Bogie Beast is scary, funny, and his been compared by bestselling author, GP Taylor, as out of the same bag of humour as Philip Ardagh.
Jesse has a new quest: to return to the dark Kingdom of Finnigull to find her best friend, Jake Briggs. But there are new problems to solve. Kildrith, a dark warlock hunts Jesse down, and the witch-sisters, Dendrith and Gwendrith seek revenge and Jesse's precious golden glow. The mysterious, cataclysmic force, the Rumble, erases everything it meets, and it's headed straight for Jesse. Then, of course, there's her crazy father, the Bogie Beast. He plays his haunting melody that returns all of his thousands of children to him in his hideaway beneath the Mountains of Mourn. And it's up to Jesse to save the day.
There are many surprises in this book quoted by well-known literary agent, David Smith, as 'a modern classic,' and by publishing legend, Eddie Bell, as simply 'fantastic!' So, do youself a favour if you haven't already, and buy it. Every page is pure class - a real joy of a read
