SYREN by ANGIE SAGE
Published by BloomsburyIf you haven't yet been swept up in the delights of the world of Septimus Heap then now is the perfect time to do so with the release of the fifth book in his magical series just published.
Like a certain Mr Potter Septimus is a wizard, the seventh son of a seventh son whose true identity at first remains secret until his true destiny is revealed.
The story of Septimus begins in the wonderful first book Magyck and continued in Queste, Flyte and Physik. Now in Syren Septimus and his friends are on a dangerous island whilst his badly injured dragon Spit Fyre recuperates. It seems the islands inhabitants have a sinister reason for wanting rid of Septemis and Co although Septimus himself is more concerned with fighting off a strange presence that only he can hear.
Enormously engaging Syren (the fifth of a planned seven books) is a classic slice of storytelling with characters you care about. You don't have to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this but if you don't or haven't yet then you are truly missing out on something wonderful. No surprise then that Warner Bros have this series lined up (with book one already in the early stages of production) to take over the Harry Potter franchise when that comes to a close next year. Our advice is get involved now and prepare to be captivated.
