Loris Owen was born in Bolton and raised in Zimbabwe. She was taught to think sideways at an early age by her dad, and went on to study English at Cambridge. After roaming the world in search of adventure, she settled in the English Midlands, where she can often be found behind mountains of post-it notes or reading to ducks. If she can't be found, she's probably disappeared into a particularly good puzzle. ...more

I absolutely loved this Pennymores series debut, and especially loved that the author had dreamed up the ideas with his children at bedtime. With a slightly old-fashioned C.S. Lewis style, it took me back to the stories I loved as a child. In the won ...more

"I was barely asked to read any of this one, my son just ripped through it himself, which is a good recommendation. Harry Potter like but with more riddles and a faculty who are more mad - scientist, though with about the same understanding of student" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Loris Owen  (?)

“Would you rather have a moustache made of fingers, or a voice that says everything twice,
everything twice?”
Loris Owen, The Ten Riddles of Eartha Quicksmith

“He described stars as thin as air, immense clouds of glowing gas; told us about the prestars of the Orion Nebula, just now blossoming into loose knots of warm gas that might in a million years be suns.”
Frederick Pohl, Gateway
tags: stars

“It was a dimly glowing mass of pale-blue light, mottled, immense, and terrifying. Even at the first glimpse I knew it was not a sun. No sun can be so blue and so dim. It hurt the eyes to look at it, not because of its brightness. It hurt inside the eyes, up far into the optic track; the pain was in the brain itself.”
Frederick Pohl, Gateway

“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
C.S. Lewis
