About the Author:
Brad Strickland lives in Oakwood, Georgia.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-7–When Jarvis Midion travels to London with his parents to attend the reading of the will of a distant relative, what he discovers is far stranger than he suspected and more dangerous than he dreamed. His mother and father disappear, he is sucked into an alternate London that exists only inside a mysterious book, and he is challenged by a magical birthright that he has only just discovered. With the help of a motley band of guttersnipes, he struggles to solve the mystery of his family curse, find his missing parents, and master the magic that has trapped him. This is the first book in a new fantasy adventure series, and while fans of the genre will pick it up, they won't find much to keep them reading. The story is mainly dedicated to introducing the cruel, mysterious world of Lunnon. The occasional spurts of action are not enough to hold readers' interest, and the parts of the mystery that are resolved appear suddenly and clumsily at the end. Most unfortunately, Jarvis's character is largely undeveloped, and readers will feel as though they know more about the strange alternate universe than they do about the boy who is marooned there. Close the book on the Grimoire and send readers toward some of Strickland's better works.–Heather Dieffenbach, Lexington Public Library, KY
