Description: A magical tale for children who like an exciting storywith edge. Life was very ordinary for ten-year-old Robyn Silver. The often-ignored middle child in a big family, the most excitementshe had was the dash to the dinner table to reach the lastslice of pizza. Until. she begins to see creepy creatures around hertown - creatures that are invisible to everyone else. And when her school is forced to decamp to mysterious Grimdean House and she meets its equally mysterious owner, Mr Cryptorum, Robyn finds herself catapulted headfirst into an extraordinary adventure- with more excitement than she could possibly have imagined. Be careful what you wish for. It is high time we had a fantastic new female middle-grade characterto root for - Robyn is more than a match for Hamishand his Worldstoppers, and Finn of Darkmouth fame Robyn is brave and bold, completely relatable - and withan aspirational magical edge A pacy, imaginative, hugely appealing storyline with some SERIOUSLY scary monsters PRAISE FOR ROBYN SILVER While the story has a strong female lead, it is a book thatwill appeal to both genders. it really made me laugh -Madge Eekal Reviews .

Review: One of the things I love about books is that the protagonist is strong and fun to read and this is definitely what happens in Robyn Silver: The Midnight Chimes. Robyn is full of life in this book. She’s brave, strong, and protective too. I loved her personality and the way she felt like she didn’t fit in with her family but would still do anything to protect her little sister. She was a very vibrant character that really carried this book. This book is full of creepy creatures that Robyn and her friends start seeing and suddenly have to start fighting. I loved all of the different creatures and how they were described. They all had very different personalities and reasons for existing and it was even more interesting that only a few select people could actually see them – like Robyn and her friends! I really liked that about this book. To start off with, Robyn has her best friend Aiden by her side and it’s really wonderful that they can both see the creatures as it makes Robyn feel less alone. So when a third member joins them, I was worried that she would be excluded and made to feel left out but fortunately that doesn’t happen. Instead Robyn realizes that Nora with all her book smarts is very helpful and lovely and the trio work so well together. This in itself makes the book more interesting to read. There is an abundance of adventure in this book, which I absolutely loved. At first the trio are being trained by Mr Cryptorum and so there is an adult driving force behind the books but when things start to go wrong, it is up to the kids to settle the score and save the day. I loved how they did this and how it all came together. The adventure was fun and addictive and fascinating all rolled together – a perfect combination for a children’s books! I’m sure all the kids will love it! What brings all of the above together though is the writing style. I have to admit I’ve never actually read a book by Paula Harrison before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I can safely say that I will be reading more of her books from now on! The writing style was easy to read, addictive, and fun. Definitely my kind of book! Overall The Midnight Chimes was a fascinating read and it was a brilliant beginning to what looks to be a wonderful series. I cannot wait to see what will happen next!
