I can't believe I've never heard of this before. It's not April 1st, is it?

more reviews of The Changeling

Learning that I was the Chameleon King yesterday reminded me that reviews that have been mounting up since The Changeling came out. Thought I'd better post them before the arrival of the next book makes them all rather moot.

Ian Nichols in the West Australian found it "rewarding to see Sean Williams, Australia's premier speculative fiction writer, turn his hand to young adult fiction, because it becomes something special indeed, as readable by adults as it is by younger people. [The tale] is riveting and one not to be missed."

Jason Nahrung in the Brisbane Courier Mail called it "a truly memorable tale. I didn't need the inclusion of chapter one of the next book in the trilogy, The Dust Devils, to whet my appetite for the next instalment."

Australian Women's Weekly listed The Changeling as one of "10 Great Reads for Children" while Magpies considered it a solid "intriguing". Fun kids' mag M Reads gave it four stars, saying: "This book is a cliffhanger, MANIACS, and we recommend you get your hands on this unpredictable adventure!"

The Dust Devils is out in September. I hope people like it as much.
