James's father is missing. With no clue why his dad would run out on him and his mum, he hides out by an ancient stone circle to think. There, James discovers a dead stoat, crushed in an impossibly huge footprint. The mystery of what smashed the little animal leads James into finding Mendel, a wizard from another world called Denthan. Mendel has his own problems though. He's trapped in the body of a goldfish and Denthan's sun is about to die and destroy the planet. James is soon drawn into Mendel's plight and hopes against hope that the goldfish can somehow help him find his dad. Will Denthan be saved? Can Mendel regain his true form? But more importantly, will James ever find his father? - (Children's Fiction / Fantasy / Young Adult)

Flamingnet Young Adult Review –‘…you can get lost in this book. The writing is powerful and it draws you in. 10/10’ (winner of the Young Adult Top Choice Award)

Mr Ripleys Enchanted Books – The book reads really well; lots of action and split story segments which bring all the characters alive to great affect. The book also encompasses lots of Tolkien-like battles making it very memorable. The reader is thrown head-first into the adventure and in doing so the pages of the book fly by. This is a well crafted debut book from a new writer.’

Waterstones Young Proof Readers – ‘This book is one of the most humorous fantasy novels I have ever read. Sam Wilding is a breath of fresh air for fantasy. This book has encouraged me to try more books in the fantasy genre. The novel is a wonderful mix of mystery, drama, comedy and fantasy. A fantastic read, which I highly recommend.’
