Synopsis

Ben has been saving for weeks to buy the Mongolian fighting fish he's seen in the local pet shop. But on entering Mr Dodds' Pet Emporium, a small cat hooks his claws into Ben's jumper and begs to be bought. The cat tells Ben that Mr Dodds is importing rare magical beasts into this world and he needs his help to save them. Like fish out of water, they are dying in this world, away from their magical land. A parallel world, Eidolon, exists as a neighbour to our own and is filled with magic and magical creatures, like dragons, selkies, sabre-toothed tigers and faeries. With his new friend, Iggy the talking cat, Ben travels between the worlds and helps some of these amazing creatures return home. On his journey he makes loyal friends, encounters danger and adventure and discovers his own royal lineage in the Secret Country.

Revue de presse

The Secret Country, by Jane Johnson
"Jane Johnson introduces us to a whole new world of enchantments, filled with amazing characters and outlandish situations, all brought together with a welcome warmth and wit, and presented in Jane's elegant, effortless prose. It's a marvellous start to what promises to be a wonderfully off-beat and original series." Clive Barker
"If you love pets, adventure and magic, you'll love this book! 5 out of 5." KRAZE Club Magazine
'The Secret Country is full of the kind of magic a day-dreaming child longs for' -- Brian Patten
nd he adds, 'after reading it you'll never see your cat in the same light again!'
