The best stories change you. The Vanishing Act is that kind of tale |
|
| Other text | A strange poetic and ghostly story… There are echoes of C.S. Lewis's The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe but otherwise there is a rare freshness to her storytelling. She relies on using sophisticated but sparse language to create a magical world and story about the grown-up themes of love, loss and – intriguingly – philosophy that can be read and enjoyed by both grown-ups and young adults. And not a vampire in sight |
