The Star Sapphire Trilogy is ideal for children aged 8 to 12+ (and adults!) who love adventure. Intensely exciting, humorous, well-written, highly visual and with wonderful characterisation, it has a strong moral theme of friendship, bravery and loyalty - ideals to which many young readers can relate very well. As Star (a young girl) and Jasper (an engaging, capable, friendly and intelligent sea pebble with a wonderful smile - but no legs!) make their way through the Land of Gems, overcoming terrifyingly dangerous situations, their bond develops into an unshakeable friendship based on trust and selflessness. It has the educational benefit of introducing readers to the fascinating world of crystals and minerals in the context of a wonderful story. Every boy will fall in love with Star, and every girl with Jasper. Adults will love them both!
Without ANY hint of the bad language and gratuitous violence found in many modern books and games, this is a story with traditional values that will enthral young and old alike.

'Fantastic - I couldn't stop reading ..... their adventures were heart-stopping ..... I loved the relationship between Star and Jasper ..... the very, very strong message it conveys about friendship, loyalty, bravery and selflessness made me feel quite tearful ..... the characterisations are brilliant ..... if this isn't a best seller, I'll eat the manuscript.'

'How very charming! ..... the cadence and word banter between the characters is spot-on ..... it would delight a child ..... and keep any adult reading long after the child had drifted off ..... what better compliment?'
