About Talendia: The Lost Boy:
"A magical tale, exquisitely written. Fast paced and packed full of page turning adventures with witches, dragons and goblins. I nicked this book from my kids room one evening - and couldn’t return until I’d finished! My kids (11 and 8) have loved it too. Really reminded me of the pace of the princess bride and I can easily imagine this being adapted for the big screen. Can’t wait for the next instalment!"

Between the attractive covers of this well-presented book lies an intriguing, web-like, fantasy-adventure story, which CPID recommends to all imaginative young fiction readers. With hints of Alice in Wonderland, A. E. Colmer paints a labyrinthine world for Frida’s amazing adventures."J. B. (https://www.cantputitdown.co.uk/talendia-the-lost-boy-by-a-e-colmer1.html)

"As a teacher of 9 and 10 year olds, I am so happy to find a story that contains all the magical ingredients of Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and a bit of Alice in Wonderland all mixed together and that is actually written for your average 8 to 11 year old. The story ends on a cliff hanger which certainly makes you want to read the next book to find out what happens– a clever ploy to make children want to read on!" C. M.

"Talendia is a great read. It took me into a completely new world full of Griffins, giant snakes and dragons. The characters are really believable: you can picture what they look like and are feeling as they go through their adventure in Talendia. I can't wait to read the next book!" F. L.

"I really liked reading this book. It is full of fantastic creatures and amazing situations. I especially liked the Griffin, that you can see on the cover but also the 2 main characters, long ears Alpert and his friend Frida. I recommend reading this book if you like fantasy and adventure stories. It is a real page turner and I cannot wait to read the sequel."
