Felix Jones and the Book of Words
Dive into an epic adventure with Felix and his best friend Tom as they meet one of history's famous person, Hitler.
For Felix and Tom it's just a normal day in school, but when an explosion rocks their school they notice their teacher acting strangely and decide to follow him where they see him with a book.
This decision changes the boys lives forever because now the Book of words has chosen Felix as his Keeper.
As Felix tries to understand what is happening they are attacked by hideous creatures that are half monk and half Skeleton.
Their teacher tells Felix to keep the Book safe and then makes the boys run away.
They dodge the monks only to be thrown through time back into the 1940s.
The time is dangerous and the monks follow them. Felix uses the book which guides him to a guardian. They now need to find ‘The keeper’ of the book from this era to find out how they travel back home using the book.
Lives are lost along the way and all to protect the keeper and the magic book.
The boys meet some amazing, kind brave, people and also some horrible, evil people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the book.
I loved this story, Felix and Tom are very likeable characters and I really enjoyed accompanying them on their time travel adventure.
Despite the losses of lives they remained brave and managed to protect the book and meet some new guardians closer to home.
I liked the way the author uses real past events and people as part of the storyline too.
I'm looking forward to book two to see what adventures they get up to next and what the book had in store for Felix and Tom. But also to see how Felix’s character develops as he uncovers more of the books secrets and learns how to use it.
Recommended to Tweens, Young adults and adults alike who enjoy magical adventures across time with dangers around each corner.

Hmmmm!
Good points: it was quick and easy to read, and did actually keep me hooked throughout.
Flip side: I felt somewhat uncomfortable at the links to real individuals who happen to feature as, only very thinly disguised, characters in this book.
Overall, if I was a 13 year old schoolboy I'd probably enjoy it.
