A soon-to-be fantasy classic." <strong>The US Review of Books</strong>.</p> <p>"A gripping saga that will be appreciated not just by young adult audiences, but by adults who enjoy other strong YA authors who create fantasy worlds appealing to young and old alike." <strong>Midwest Book Review</strong>.</p> <p>"Archibald Lox and the Bridge Between Worlds is a perfect middle grade book. I couldn't put it down and read it in almost one sitting. For grabbing my attention from the very first page and making me excited about a series for the first time in ages, I give it a superb five out of five stars." <strong>Addicted to Media</strong>.</p> <p>"Inventive and imaginative with plenty of jeopardy - as satisfying a read as we've come to expect from Darren Shan.

I can't recommend it highly enough, perfect for fantasy fans of all ages." <strong>Books, Films & Random Lunacy</strong>.</p> <p>"High fantasy that allows you to step away from the real world and into a vivid space of wonder." <strong>The Reading Corner For All</strong>.</p> <p>"Perfect for fans of adventurous fantasy stories!" <strong>Mind of Luxe</strong>.</p> <p>"I loved everything about the story, and can't wait to see how it continues!" <strong>Rajiv's Reviews</strong>.</p>.
