Times Editions is promoting a new young adult fantasy, the first of a series, by Gregory Janicke. Book one is called The Dark Mystery of the Shadow Beasts. I tried reading it yesterday and fell asleep midway through chapter two. Will try again over the weekend, but I'm not too hopeful. The opening chapter didn't grab my attention in the least and I found the characters flat and cartoonish.
Oh, well. That's just me. Teens and tweens may well love it to bits ... especially since they seem to like Harry Potter. Hah!
Anyway, you can find out more about the author and his work at his own website, Art by Janicke.
If you like what you see, the book is available at all major Malaysian bookstores and on Amazon.com.
Hmm.. you seem prejudice towards Harry Potter...
