SUMMARY:
Thirteen year-old Daniel Scratch has been living alone for years since his parents passed, cared for by his home’s tiny, elf-like brownies and his somehow-still-living great-great grandmother. But when Grandmother sends him to the village to be Tested, his life turns upside down.
The BookViral Review:
A fun and refreshingly original exploration of magic Daniel Scratch: A Story of Witchkind takes us into uncharted territory which fans of the fantasy genre will certainly applaud.
There are lots of okay books in the genre, but for the majority, they are stories lacking in coherent plots which you can read in pieces but they’re a puzzle that never gets solved. Jones gives us much more than this with plot threads that weave together to deliver a potent blend of magical intrigue and awakening.
Fantasy fiction should be a genre where ideas have no limits and the imagination is free. But it takes a read like Daniel Scratch to remind us just how rarely this happens with Jones delivering a beautifully penned and thoughtful narrative that delves into the philosophical and moral questions of being endowed with arcane powers. His command of prose is a wonderful thing in which to linger with much on which to reflect should the reader choose.
You won’t find an instance of padding or an eye-glazing moment of dull self-indulgence from Jones just a timeless story of magic rooted in the two unique characters Daniel and Kirmin. Neither will you find trite clichés or mistake sentimentalism for emotional depth.
With a genuine sense of wonderment that few novels attain Daniel Scratch: A Story of Witchkind is a read to be savoured and is recommended without reservation!
A novel about falling in love and the choices we make Masked Intent: A Modern-Day Morality Play reminds us that what makes a debut novel special has much to do with the relationship between reader and writer.
Bringing together a wealth of knowledge on the subject of magnet fishing Norton’s Magnet Fishing: A Beginner’s Guide For Uncovering Amazing Sunken Treasures With A Magnet proves an enthralling read!
Authors like Robin Cook, Michael Crichton and Tess Gerritsen have made a major contribution to our continued fascination with medical thrillers.
What makes a memoir so alluring? After all, they are not generally stuffed full with action, suspense, romance or mystery, which provide the highs and lows or other literature.
We are constantly and enduringly fascinated with fictional accounts of parallel existence, alternative realities and genetic engineering. Films such as ‘The Fountain’ present immortality as attainable, whilst books such as ‘The Book Thief’ (Markus Zusak) explore the nature of death, in this case by death himself acting as narrator.
Near Death Experience’s or NDEs as they are more commonly called are not a new phenomenon; they’ve been reported throughout history and yet few subjects create so much division.
