"Hagurosan is an easy to read short novel that has a heart-warming ending, and a message that people could help each other in a crisis if they try." Fantasy Book Review "I absolutely loved this book myself - a beautiful, magical story, but the audience may be more narrow than is the norm for this series. I also feel that this has exceptional value as an educational book, to learn about other cultures, but also about philosophy and morality as well." - The Bookbag Blog "Darren Shan's brand new book Hagurosan is amazing - I recommend this book to the people who love Darren Shan and his books." - Sean Innes, WEJS Book blog "Hagurosan is a amazing book - I guarantee you will love it. It is exciting and easy to read. I loved it. 10/10" - Aidan Allen, WEJS Book blog "I wouldn't know how to exactly define Darren Shan's latest book, but it definitely isn't his normal horror stuff. It is, however, a very good read. It's short, simple and enjoyable. The surprise at the end of Hagurosan was clever and I didn't see it coming. It's an uplifting book and surprisingly thought provoking." - Ashley Manning, blogger "I really enjoyed this book. It's short, sweet and easy to read. I think people of all ages would enjoy this tale and I recommend it to everyone." - Blog Dangerous
