Book of the month for children
'The fall' by Garth Nix
Thirteen-year-old Tal lives in a dark world where the most precious commodity is light. He is one of the Chosen – keepers of the magical Sunstones – at the Castle of Seven Towers.
Thrown off the castle by a spirit shadow, he falls into an unknown world of warriors, ice ships and hidden magic. There Tal makes an enemy who will save his life – and holds the key to his future.
This is an exciting and atmospheric fantasy book for readers aged 8 and over. Tal encounters one danger after another in the ritual-bound castle and then in the frozen world of the icecarls.
