A soon-to-be fantasy classic.” The US Review of Books.”It’s a gripping saga that will be appreciated not just by young adult audiences, but by adults who enjoy other strong YA authors who create fantasy worlds appealing to young and old alike.” Midwest Book Review.”Archibald Lox and the Bridge Between Worlds is a perfect middle grade book.

For grabbing my attention from the very first page and making me excited about a series for the first time in ages, I give it a superb five out of five stars.” Addicted to Media.”Inventive and imaginative with plenty of jeopardy – as satisfying a read as we’ve come to expect from Darren Shan.
