Praise for The Mirror Chronicles series: (#ulink_abdd6ff6-b18a-5fcc-8e01-c3cfb0beacc1)
“I became totally immersed in an amazing world of painted words … breathtaking and an absolute joy to read. A book that you will reflect on for the rest of your life. Just like when you first read The Hobbit or took your first stroll along the story path of Terry Pratchett … An epic masterpiece.” Mr Ripley’s Enchanted Books
“Johnstone effortlessly conjures up elaborate worlds rich in both magic and fantasy. The Bell Between Worlds has an enchanting quality that is capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of The Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials … The narrative flows with ease and the story maintains excitement right to the end. This highly-charged adventure is a delightful page-turner for both children and adults alike.”
