The Twistrose Key is Tone Almhjell's debut novel. It can remind you of books like Alice in Wonderland and Narnia. If you like stories about children discovering new worlds and talking animals then this is the book for you! I'm 23 years old and I enjoyed this even though it's meant to be for a younger audience. If I had been a kid now and found The Twistrose Key in the store I would have read it and kept it for the rest of my life.
The Blurb:
Something is wrong in the house that Lin's family has rented - Lin is sure of it.
The clocks tick too slowly. Frost covers the flower bed, even in a rain storm. And when a secret key marked 'Twistrose' arrives for her, Lin finds a crack in the cellar: a gate to the world of Sylver.
This frozen realm is the home of every dead animal who ever loved a child. Lis is overjoyed to be reunited with Rufus, the pet she buried under the rosebush. Together they must face danger and adventure to find the missing Winter Prince and save Sylver from destruction.
They are not the only ones hunting for the boy. In the dark hides a shadow lipped man, waiting for this last Winter Prince to be delivered into his hands.
Exhilarating suspense and unforgettable characters await the readers of this magical adventure, destined to become a classic.
My Thoughts:
Oh my gosh! I really enjoyed this book! It's been sitting in my bookshelf for a few years and now I regret for waiting so long to read it!
You got magic, mystery, talking animals, evil animals, nightmares and all the things that makes a book like this so special! The sweet chemistry between Lin and Rufus and all the creatures they meet that's got their own special personality. I could go on and on about all the things you will expect from this but I don't wanna do that in case you want to read it yourself!
Like I said earlier on this post: If I had been a kid, I would have bought it and read it (or made my dad read it to me like he did with Harry Potter) and kept if for the rest of my life. So thank you mum and dad for giving this sweet and magical novel to me for christmas a few years ago!
And that is all I wanted to say about this book without spoiling everything!
5/5
