Later, as I started to write it down so that he could draw some pictures to go with it, I found the ideas grew organically and two years later, the four book series was complete.

At some point in Tim's childhood, he was abducted by aliens and sent on a voyage of knowledge and discovery across the universe.
Eventually the aliens realised how pointless this was and, as a failed student, he was returned to Earth and left with a family who brought him up as a human bean. But, the persistent memories of new worlds, dragons and other creatures, continued to knock at his frontal lobe, desperately trying to break out. To avoid making a mess and calm his imagination, Tim began writing as a way to communicate with Earthlings. Fuelled by Chilli and Nachos and a bottle of wine, Tim manages to balance a love of loud rock music and fast cars preferably red!
THE MOON STEALERS : PART 1
He has successfully infiltrated the humans and hides behind the facade known as a family. He learns from his children, but is regularly told to stop acting like a child by his wife. Naturally shy and unsociable by nature, he is selective of the human company he keeps, preferring to be around old books, bonsai and art. He cries at 'It's a wonderful life' but sulks if fed evil vegetables disguised as Parsnips or Peas. He is bored by mundane conversation, excited by architecture and castles and fuelled by Caramel Latte Macchiato's.

Midnight for Charlie Bone: The Stones of Ravenglass: The other thread focuses on a group of middle-school aged children from Parsley Bottom. While investigating the disappearance of a classmate, they meet Edgar, a peculiar older man with a unique connection to the past. Thrilled with the opportunity to get into the field, Steven goes undercover to Parsley Bottom where he deploys the latest technology to probe the connection between the meteorites and a fast growing flesh eating microbe.
Simultaneously, the children embark with Edgar on a quest to solve a riddle and reveal the location of the silver bough, which is an ancient key to unlocking the entrance to the fairy world. He cleverly creates cliff-hangers in each tale just as he deftly drops one thread to re-enter the next. Mindfully written for tweens there is no foul language or sexual content of any kind. If it was a movie its mild slime factor would earn a PG rating. With that qualification, I recommend The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough to any tweens and their parents interested in a compelling mix of fantasy and science fiction.
This book has an odd feel to it; it is somewhat like two books entwined into one. One is an old-school rural fantasy adventure in which a handful of kids go on a sort of treasure hunt around the countryside trying to find the item that will unlock the doorway to another realm and help them find a missing kid. I cannot actually recall what part the parental units played in allowing the kids to run off with a strange elderly gent, or even whether they were consulted at all.
Also, they were undergoing all this effort to find someone they didn't even really know and who was mostly regarded as an oddball loner. It felt a little non-convincing. Although I suppose you could argue that kids love a good adventure. The other story is a horror mystery story in which two MI6 operatives investigate ET life in the form of a bacteria that grows at terrifying rates and mutates quickly. It is basically more gruesome horror.

Together the two do not quite work, as it is unclear how they intersect. I had various issues with this tale, although it was readable enough. The most obvious was the writing style, which was amateurish and poorly edited. It has been spell-checked but little else. The narrative is a prime example of "tell" with many sentences containing redundancies such as "Scarlet and Max both nodded together at the same time". Plus the use of bizarre comma use when? My favourite was the " It was readable, and parts of it were quite enjoyable, if you could set the internal editor aside and just enjoy the journey.
My internal editor loved this opportunity and passages of this would prove fine samples for my writing group to practise their editing and showing skills. I was interested in getting this book for my kids, however, I am always leery of getting something for them without reading it first.
This was so much fun that I could not put it down! It is just creepy enough to entice kids to keep reading, but not gross or scary enough to make them stop. I am going to recommend this to my two older children - both boys - and keep reading the series. I look forward to reading book 2 soon. See all 52 reviews.
