Hollowmoon: The Magic Casket
by J M Drummond
Young Peter flees from his father’s aggressive behaviour one summer when he decides to spend the school holidays with a family friend at Hollowmoon Grange. Yet before he even arrives, Peter encounters several mysterious happenings on his train journey there. These intensify further more when he reaches his final destination and discovers that a strange magic is afoot within the neighbouring Hollowmoon Forest. Trees fall down without warning, the woodland creatures are at war with each other, and winter storms rage in the middle of summer. Dream-like visions and surreal visitations lead Peter on a quest to uncover the truth. He is tasked with restoring the equilibrium of Hollowmoon Forest but can he save the woodland and its inhabitants before it’s too late? Join Peter and his friends in a fast-paced fantasy with a modern-day ecological message.

I got so wrapped up reading this, I stayed up much later than I should have and finished it in two sittings. Drummond does an amazing job of bringing the characters and setting to life, and the cast of characters is so diverse. The action scenes had my heart racing, and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. My heart really went out to Peter at the start, and his character arc was captivating. You’ll easily get so wrapped up in the story that you’ll get lost in the unique world that Hollowmoon encapsulates. I can’t wait to see what adventures are in store for Peter and friends in later installments of the series!
This is the novelist’s first published work, and it will form the first in a series of Hollowmoon Adventures. The author lives in Sussex.
