Publisher Description

BONUS FEATURE: Exclusive interview with Matthew Skelton about the origins of Endymion Spring. "You've stumbled on to something much larger than you can possibly imagine." In the dead of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snow-covered streets. The chest, covered in images of mythical beasts, can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood. Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page--words no one but the boy can see. And so unfolds a timeless secret . . . .

"This was the author's first book- I listened to his commentary at the end about how this novel came into existence (written one full half at a time, and then interweaving a second from the beginning- I couldn't tell the author didn't plan it that way from the beginning!), and was fascinated how his life flowed around it. Even though it's cataloged as a YA book, Blake and Endymion Spring are younger than that, but it's writing with a descriptive language that even adults will appreciate (me!). I highly recommend it~"

    " Not a bad story line. The plot is something like Help, I'm a Prisoner in the Library crossed with Septimus Heap. Fine for light reading... "

    " This book took a little while to get going for me, but not bad. I didn't like it as much as Inkheart or The Shakespeare Stealer, but it's still neat. What is especially good is the subtle literary references that kids will get. "

    " Matthew Skelton's "Endymion Spring" presents a story with a double-plot that take place in different periods of time. Skelton's writing is very elaborate and depicts the various scenes and images in a vivid manner. The storyline is intriguing and engaging, and is a good read to pick up. "

    " Has some good ideas, but it isn't all that good. It COULD have been, if it had more action. It needs more obstacles for the character to overcome! "

    " While I did enjoy this, the actual story didn't live up to the potential of the premise. I feel like too much was left unexplained and therefore didn't draw me in to the magic of the dragon skin book as much as it could have. "

    " Man,I've never read any other book that creeped me out and yet fascinated me that much.This whole "deadly-stalker" thing was really scary.And imagine being Blake's age and have to endure that.Or the incidents that happened in Endymion's life.I admire the kiddos,I really do. "
