Art Pengriffin & The Curse Of The Four (The Pengriffin Chronicles) Kindle Edition

by Norman Revill (Author), Clive Fleury (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
After moving around his entire life, Art Pengriffin is at last settling into a new school. He's got a crush on the best-looking girl in his class and joined a band to impress her. When they rip the school concert on the eve of his 14th birthday and a record producer parent wants to sign him, it's happy days. Until mum Egrainne announces they're moving again. What is her problem?

Unknown to Art, his father was the magician Merlin, Egrainne is King Arthur's sister and they're being pursued by Four terrifying ghouls hell-bent on killing him for his father's powers, which Art can take when he's 14.

Art thinks his mum has lost it, big time, until he's back in time in Camelot with unsuspecting school crush Megan, seeking a sword and stone. Egrainne wants the magic to die, so Art stays a normal boy. If Art takes the powers, he must fight the Four - alone. Lose and they will destroy the world. Art must choose, and fast - his birthday is only hours away.

    Clive Fleury is an award-winning writer of books and screenplays and has worked all over the world as a Film/TV director, writer and producer. He has written five books, most recently Off Season, a murder mystery novel.

    Off Season is a fish-out-of-water murder mystery, about a disgraced high-flying detective who is relocated from Sydney to a tiny Australian beach town. Here he discovers that small doesn't mean peaceful and murder doesn't take a holiday in the off season. Fans of who dunnit's, crime thrillers, and cop and detective stories will love this novel.

    Clive's other books include 'Kill Code' - a dystopian science fiction novel set in a world facing climate change; ‘Scary Lizzy’ - a novel about an eight year old girl, who befriends an African child ghost – and the teen action adventure book; ‘The Boy Next Door ‘ - a story of what happens when a teenage girl has a crush on her next door neighbor, who isn’t all he seems. He also co-wrote ‘Art Pengriffin and The Curse of The Four’ - a young adult fantasy adventure about a teenage boy who discovers his father was Merlin the Magician.

    This book sets the imagination racing. It's gripping, exciting and the characters are wonderfully conceived. It takes you backwards and forwards in time and the magic is unusual. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another wizard
    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2013
    Being the mother of a boy-wizard myself, this book was a must-have. Among the plethora of mediocre children/teen literature in this genre that inevitably followed the success of Harry Potter, Revill and Fleury's creation is a gem. At last we see a new character based in just enough historical and literary accuracy to be believable but imbued with the imagination of two talented writers.

    My son read this himself. However, this book is perfect for reading aloud too. The cadence of the language works really well in the descriptive passages and the dialogue is almost impossible to not bring to life. That means the age range for this book widens immeasurably from probably 7 years up to pre-teens.

    One of the quotes on the book's cover is "Move over Harry, there is a new wizard in town," but I would say a DIFFERENT type of literary character and actually that is much harder to achieve.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging read
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013
    Not a teenager myself - but in the world of children's books.

    Plotted at pace, in this extention of the Camelot legend, excitement happens on every one of the 330 pages. The length is far from daunting as the reader is left in breathless suspense at the end of every chapter. Wisely, the author has been teenage-friendly and made the chapters short.

    The characterisation is vivid. Art, our reluctant hero, is the bullied school nerd who must save us all from evil against seemingly impossible odds. Refreshingly, the other major players are all fascinating women - Egrainne, the feisty, self employed mother; Megan - the beautiful and vulnerable teenage heart-throb and Cane - the ultimate Gothic dominatrix.

    Throw into this lots of gore and you have a compulsive read. When's the film released ?

    Good fun and engaging, I practically devoured this story. A teenage boy who just wants to be cool finds out he's the son of a wizard - and therefore a wizard himself. With Death in a car and some time-travel thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to more!

    A delightful bit of escapism which was cleverly constructed to hold the reader. Ideal for older children and immature adults like me!

    Brilliant imaginative story. The characters came to life very quickly and were easily imaginable. Just when you thought you knew what was going to happen - it didn't!!! Hanging on tender hooks until the end! Can't wait for the sequel!!
