His grandfather said it was a matter of life and death - but whose?

The Teeth of the Gale Bewertungen

Joan Aiken's Felix trilogy is definitely the kind of reading material you can never have enough of. It's got everything; adventure of almost every kind you could dream of, friendship, romance, history, travel . . . To me these books are timeless, and every generation needs them. * Bookwitch *
