Recensione:

A cracking read for anyone who loves a magical adventure. --The Sunday Express

This book has a little of everything, time-travel, magic, mystery and an enigmatic butler! It is a satisfying story of good versus evil and little verses big that will resonate with young readers. The characters are affable and adventurous and the well-paced story-telling will keep you hooked to the end. --Booktrust

Gabrielle Kent is obviously a fellow lover of children's literature as Alfie Bloom contains elements that in some ways almost make it read as a homage to the great children's writers and books of the past, in the best possible way ... Middle grade fantasy adventure at its very best, and I can't wait to read the sequel. --The Book Zone 4 Boys
