Which Way to Anywhere

Review 'A new series by Cressida Cowell is always an event.... a highly imagined roller-coaster of a fantasy, written with the author's familiar panache...The story - illustrated with Cowell's familiar, scratchy sketches - has everything that her fans have come to expect...[A]s with all the best fantasy there is skilled balance between humdrum drama and high thrills...a joyously anarchic story which addresses the theme of childhood loss with real psychological acuity. And at the heart of this modern fantasy a very modern message: that those who appear to be worlds apart often have more in common than they assume.' ― The Telegraph Wild magic, Cowell's trademark bonkers humour, rich environmentalism and the complexities of family love are woven deftly through the first book in a fabulous new series -- Imogen Russell Williams ― The Guardian 'A new Cressida Cowell series lifts the spirits as autumn damp descends...A witty, rip-roaring battle of good and evil, secrets and lies, monsters and magic ensues, illustrated with Cowell's signature black and white sketches, and underpinned by an ecological message. FAB-U-LOUS. -- Sally Morris ― The Daily Mail 'a pacey, thrill-packed, highly imaginative new series that should pull in the most reluctant readers' ― The Times Children’s Book of the Week This rollicking story never lets up in energy, inventiveness and...good humour... Cressida Cowell is a genuine one-off.... Started 25 years ago, this story now forms the cornerstone for what looks likely to be yet another wildly popular series still to come. -- Books for Keeps ― Books for Keeps [T]his thrilling, past-paced adventure will whisk you away on a fascinating journey of imagination. ― The Week Junior Readers are dragged straight into a thrilling adventure story from the very first page with Cressida Cowell's ultra welcoming text and inviting illustrations. They are the kind of illustrations that are beautiful but also super unintimidating, the kind that make kids want to get out a pencil and draw their own pictures. This fits so well with the story, which is at its heart about the power of children's creativity and imagination -- BookTrust ― BookTrust 'In my opinion, this is the best story the author has written.' Without a shadow of a doubt, this will be one of the best reads of the year. The story strikes a quirky balance of wild and outrageous storytelling that only great authors can dream up. It is full of brilliant characters, dialogue, and a daring rescue mission with terrible beasts and a robot assassin. Everything about this story makes it a fantastic compulsive read. As a story sat lingering over the years, this book has now been turned into an epic read that radiates fun and magic. Dream BIG and travel well. -- Mr Ripley Enchanted Books ― https://www.mrripleysenchantedbooks.com/2022/08/cressida-cowell-which-way-to-anywhere.html Which Way to Anywhere is such a fun novel...a fun, thrilling many-worlds fantasy with magic and technology and a whole lot of heart. ― www.bookwormhole.co.uk Toppsta children's reviews: 'We have loved all of Cressida Cowell's books and 'Which way to anywhere' is no exception!
