Great Fire, by Jon Chant, transports readers back to 17th Century London for a thrilling and gritty take on the Great Fire of 1666. A children's book for ages 9+
Esteban Fawkes is a young sorcerer specialising in time magic, known as Chronomancy. Danny is a Conjurer who can summon supernatural beings, or banish the Things That Should Not Be Here. When Danny goes missing, a raging fire threatens to engulf London. Aided by a bystander called Connie, Esteban must travel back to Pudding Lane in 1666 and battle the dark forces that are threatening the city. Offering a grittier take on teenage wizardry, this meticulously researched thriller will bring the Great Fire of London to life.
We will also be purchasing our children more Mogzilla books as they are just wonderful (my 9 year old already has a list of the one's he'd like to try next).
