When Angel moves to a new school after the death of her parents, she isn’t interested in making friends. Until she meets Bavar – a strange boy, tall, awkward and desperate to remain unseen, but who seems to have a kind of magic about him. Everyone and everything within Bavar’s enchanted house is urging him to step up and protect the world from a magical rift through which monsters are travelling, the same monsters that killed Angel’s parents.
But Bavar doesn’t want to follow the path that’s been chosen for him – he wants to be normal; to disappear. Fighting one another as well as their fears, Angel and Bavar must find a way to repair the rift between the worlds, and themselves, before it’s too late . .

This book was good as I liked the way it told the story of Bavar and Angel. Angel is drawn to Bavar after the death of her parents but Bavar isn’t too excited to talk to her. What will happen? Read the book to find out!
Evie, Y7, says:
This is a riveting story of a boy called Bavar who meets his catalyst, Angel, and the two work together to close a rift between the world of the Raksasa and the human world.

My friend recommended this book to me and told me that it only made sense if you read it thoroughly. I found this is true, but the story still didn’t really make sense. It was still an ok story, but it could have been clearer.
