S.C.A.R.S. BY JULIA IBBOTSON – BOOK TOUR 26 JANUARY TO 6 FEBRUARY

Dragons, knights and a boy who slips through a tear in the fabric of the universe into a fantasy medieval  world …

Gavin is an ordinary boy with problems like everyone else, when he finds himself in an extraordinary situation and facing the fight of his life.  People are calling him Gawain and sending him on a medieval quest.  How has he found himself on a horse when he has never ridden one before? How come he has a sword in his hand and terrifying creatures bearing down upon him? He seems to have slipped through into another universe. But can he win the battle of Good against Evil, and can he save the land of Unor   ̶   and more importantly, can he save himself?

MY REVIEW

Gavin lives alone with his mother, his father having left the family home.  He is daily at the mercy of school bullies and has only one true friend: Roly.  One night as he lies awake in bed the clock strikes midnight something draws him to the bedroom window.  Climbing out he finds himself in a time slip, taken to a land of adventure with knights and dragons where he wears armour, wields a sword and everyone calls him Gawain. This pattern follows on subsequent nights and he becomes involved in a quest to save the land of Unor from the evil that stalks the land. A quest only he can achieve.

This book has everything; adventure, magic, heart stopping moments –  a lovely  story beautifully woven. Although a children’s novel I found it a very enjoyable and entertaining read.
