The Secret Throne is the first ever children's fantasy title from the UK's favourite sci-fi author, Peter F.Hamilton. Featuring black and white illustrations, this is the first book in the exciting Queen of Dreams series.
Taggie and her younger sister, Jemima, are just like any other girls their age. They live with their mum, go to school, play sports and spend their holidays with their dad in the countryside. But one day, everything changes . . . when a white squirrel wearing purple glasses turns up in their lives.
The next thing the sisters know, their dad has been kidnapped, and it's up to the girls to get him back. But it seems their father has been keeping some very large secrets from his young daughters, for their dad is no ordinary man. He is an otherworldly prince in exile, and the land he should be ruling, the First Realm, has been overthrown by the King of Night.
Can Taggie and Jemima find their way between the worlds to save their father, and what other secrets has he been hiding? Before long, the sisters realize that it is not just their dad's life at stake. It's the future of a whole world.

Jemima and her older sister Taggie are just ordinary girls, but with their parents having split they spend time with each of them. Their mother drops them off with their father for two weeks of the summer holiday. Up until now, their dad has seemed normal, but very soon after arriving they realise that all is not as they thought. The girls first surprise is seeing a white squirrel in the orchard, not common, but not as uncommon as one earing purple glasses. Soon after they see their dad being kidnapped by strange four legged creatures, and taken down into the well in the garden.
Somewhat shocked, the squirrel tells them that their father is actually a prince from another realm, a place that has now been taken over by the King of Night because of his absence. Rather than panic, they begin to formulate a plan to find and rescue him. The squirrel takes them into this new realm, and when they are there they realise that they have new powers, and that these may be the key to reaching and rescuing their father.
I have read a number of Hamilton’s books now, but most of those were adult science fiction, not the target audience for this first venture into children’s books. He has managed to create a good story with this one, there is plenty of action, and a few twists along the way too. He has even managed to sneak in wormholes and time travel paradoxes too! It is a touch predictable, but I am sure that the target audience will enjoy it. I will find out from my daughters as I have passed it to them to read.

I was finally able to make some time for this children's fantasy series! I really loved it as it took me back to my childhood days!😌😍
"The Secret Throne" by Peter F. Hamilton is a story of two sisters, who are taking the risk of traveling to another realm to save their kidnapped father, who was actually a runaway prince! It is then that they realize the surprising truth - that they are in fact princesses and have unimaginable magical powers. As in every such story, they are made to face the worst enemies, that practice dark magic powers which is a threat to not just their lives but also that of the outer realms!☠
I recommend this read for children who are between the ages of 8-12. I totally fell for the beautiful illustrations inside this book📖😍 I give this young fantasy a 4 out of 5⭐⭐⭐⭐ because of how well it was enjoyed and approved by young readers around me as well😉😅

This is something a little different. Peter F. Hamilton, he of the Reality Dysfunction and the Void series, mega-sized tomes of SF space opera, has written this Young Adult Fantasy tale.
And it is different, which is presumably why the book is by Peter Hamilton, in an Iain M Banks/Iain Banks type move intended to differentiate the author’s work.
The plot is briefly summarised as follows: Agatha (Taggie) and Jemima Paganuzzi are two young sisters who go on holiday to their divorced father’s farm, Orchard Cottage, for the summer vacation. As they are settling in, the appearance of a white bespectacled squirrel seems a little unusual. Things turn stranger when they find the squirrel talks and then their dad is kidnapped down the garden well by some evil creatures doing another’s bidding… and it becomes clear that Taggie, Jemima and Felix (the aforementioned squirrel) are the ones to rescue him…
The book is fast-moving, lovingly written and clearly designed for an audience that… well, isn’t me.
However, if I was, say, a 7-12-year old girl, I suspect they would love it. The energy and frenetic pace keep the pages turning, even when the tale veers into the decidedly twee, (and I’m thinking of, as an example, the point where there is the enrolment of a certain Princess Elizabeth Windsor in 1940’s Blitz-hit London.) Generally though there’s enough charm and verve to carry the story forward over the odd bump.
As an older reader, personally I had a lot of fun spotting homages throughout the book: there’s a white squirrel wearing glasses rather like Lewis Carroll’s White Rabbit, a turtle transport a little reminiscent of My Neighbour Totoro’s cat-bus, ‘gates’ that transport you – Narnia like – to other places, both in other realms as well as in the past, and a Queen that was felt to be a little Oz-like (or even Narnia-like). Being Peter F Hamilton, as well as Peter Hamilton, there’s even a little TARDIS-like time travel in the mix.
In the tradition of John Masefield’s The Box of Delights or perhaps E Nesbit’s The Railway Children, or even CS Lewis’ Narnia, the book is stridently British. I’m not quite sure how that will travel elsewhere in these global times, but the book’s place and time should be quite recognisable to many young pre-teenagers in the UK. Taggie and her sister Jemima are good, well-meaning and honourable characters that I could see many young girls being able to identify with. In the same way, the bad guys (and gals) are pleasingly boo-able.
The book throughout is filled with illustrations by Adam Stower, which add to the book rather like Quentin Blake’s drawings in Roald Dahl’s books, and which help the younger reader imagine the proceedings and the characters as the story unfolds. The cover’s an indication of his work.
And there’s a lovely character summary with those drawings at the back.
In summary, the Queen of Dreams is a good old-fashioned, yet contemporary Fantasy tale that wears its influences well and creates a rattlingly good adventure tale for wannabe princesses in the 21st century, providing you don’t think about it too deeply. I suspect that for anyone of a certain age, the story will be a book of wonders and that it will generate lots of cries of ‘just-one-more-chapter’ as it is being read out loud. There are some quite scary parts, but in the end and, as a good children’s tale should be, pretty much all’s well that ends well by its denouement (although there will be more in this series.
Good fun, but clearly for a particular reader and not for everyone. A good case of a writer broadening his usual repertoire.

The Queen of Dreams is a fun book for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia. It really reminded me of C.S. Lewis's magical masterpiece of a series, right down to the fiesty young characters, wintery realms and lanterns. If I'm honest, I thought I'd enjoy it a lot more than I actually did, though the fantastic illustrations made up for my unexplainable lack of enthusiasm as I got halfway through the book. Usually I love children's fantasy stories like this, so maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it!
Reading this book immediately made me want a spectacle-wearing talking squirrel and an army of fanged garden gnomes. I liked all the faerie creatures that the author chose to include, especially the faeries. The realms themselves also sounded magical; beautiful and unrivalled by anything the characters have ever seen. There was that sense of awe while I was reading it, so I can only imagine what it would be like to actually visit these places and meet people like this!
Taggie and Jemima are both good, strong characters, with a sense of importance and a strangely easy acceptance of who they are and what they're about to see. I thought they would have taken a bit longer to be totally okay with finding out they belong in a faerie world, but it was all very fast and a bit unbelievable. I know it's a children's book, but would kids really believe something like that so fast?! Maybe they would...
I enjoyed this book and will read any future sequels, though I can't help but be disappointed. It didn't grab me like I hoped it would, and I struggled to remember all the various people and place names scattered throughout the book. I may re-read it and see if I feel any differently a second time, as usually I fly through books like this. I have no doubt that younger readers will love this one, because who doesn't love a talking squirrel?!

4.5/5*
*Received in exchange for an honest review*
*Thank you Doubleday Books*
I was very surprised to receive this book in the post! Having never read any of Peter F. Hamilton's works, I didn't know what to expect of his first venture into children's literature. It's been years since I've delved into 'proper' children's literature too, so I was a little weary and was wondering whether I was now too old to fully appreciate the book. My assumptions and worries were all completely wrong - I loved this book! It was incredibly sweet and very Enid Blyton-esque. I loved how Hamilton built up this little world and I completely devoured the book.
The tale follows the adventures of the young sisters Taggie and Jemima as they try and save their father from the King of Night. Throughout their journey they discover information about their true identity. They're royalty with incredible powers: Taggie is able to use magic and manipulate light, Jemima is a seer. Taggie and Jemima befriend other magical creatures which join them on their quest to rid the world of the dreaded King of Night and his alleys.
I loved these little developments. I felt like I was back in my childhood delving into this magical world. This book absolutely deserves to be a success and I really hope it is! Hamilton's talent shines through his work and I am very eager to pick up his adult books. The world building was brilliant as was the character building. Really cannot fault the book - it'll be a book I read to my future children that's for sure :).

Review by Chris - Year 7
This book is about how two girls have a summer holiday and have gone to see their dad. However, strange things are happening in their garden. But when the evil king of night come and kidnaps their dad the story races on. The girls have found out there are things called realms (other worlds) and there dad has been taken into them.
The main character of the book is a girl called Taggie (short for Agatha). She also has a sister called Jemima. Throughout the book they go through a lot of different adventures in different realms. My favourite part of the book is when the Charmsward came along and Taggie developed her magical powers because I love fiction books with a bit of magic. My favourite character was Felix the squirrel because he was a very peculiar character. His little quirks made me smile.
The thing that I didn’t like was the use of illustrations, as they stop the mind from imagining what the characters and realms are going to be like. If there was anything that I would want to see written differently it would be the relation with the tortoise because when it came along it seemed like the character would love them and they could help each other throughout but it didn’t happen. I would definitely read a book by this author again. If I were to recommend this to another person I would recommend it to people who like magic and pupils of Key Stage 3 because there are some rather difficult words. I would give this book 4/5 because it was a good pace and you could really relate to the characters.

Taggie and Jemima are pre-teen sisters, sent off for the holidays to their apparently eccentric father who lives somewhat distant from modern society. Quite suddenly, he is kidnapped by dark forces. And the sisters discover that they are heirs to a dynasty in a very different realm.
Mr. Hamilton's prose is as tight as ever, even when he is writing for tweens and young adults. The characters are engaging, complex and imperfect. The plot is fine, but unfortunately rather linear and predictable. A good read, but Mr. Hamilton's efforts to make things more approachable for his expected audience have not quite worked out.
Side note: My ten-year-old daughter adored this book.

I am a huge Peter F. Hamilton fan and middle-grade fiction is near and dear to my heart. This should have been a perfect fit for me, but I was underwhelmed. It's not the fault of the writer or the book, but rather with me. I much prefer sci-fi to fantasy and I missed Mr. Hamilton's incredible vision of the future. I'm not a huge fan of mystical beasts, so I guess this one just wasn't written for me.

An enjoyable young adult story. the characters felt very real
November 24, 2015
I picked this title out as one to use with my Chatterbooks group. My main reason for the choice is that it has illustrations running through it, something one of my girls says she looks for when choosing books for herself.
After reading a couple of chapters, I almost rejected it. The story just didn't grab me all that much. But I persevered. The idea of Chatterbooks is to get the children to read stories they wouldn't normally pick for themselves. So it is only fair that I do the same. I also have to remember that the books are aimed at younger readers than myself, and I should leave my adult prejudices behind.
I enjoyed the book more as it went on, and I'm even tempted to get the rest of the series to find out what happens. Yet some reservations remain...
SPOILERS
I felt the story borrowed heavily from other tales. There were elements of Alice, and Narnia, and various other stories that seemed thinly disguised. I didn't feel these were homages to the originals.
I didn't like the inclusion of a certain real life character. It felt contrived.
I also didn't like the names of mythical creatures and places. It is very hard finding names for things that don't exist. I know that from the little writing I've done. But even invented names need to sound right, or read right. Many fantasy writers have achieved this brilliantly. Some of the names here just felt awkward.
These of course are personal niggles. It will be interesting to hear what my group think of it.

The Queen of Dreams is a compelling, imaginative story that showcases Hamilton’s skill at blending intricate world-building with character-driven narratives. The premise is fascinating, and the story unfolds with a sense of wonder and tension that kept me engaged throughout.
What I particularly enjoyed was the richness of the universe and the depth of the characters - Hamilton clearly invests in crafting personalities that feel real and motivations that resonate. That said, the pacing occasionally drifts, and some plot points felt overextended or underexplored, preventing it from reaching its full potential.
Still, it’s a strong, enjoyable read, with enough intrigue and cleverness to warrant attention.
A solid 4/5 for an imaginative, well-crafted story that leaves the reader curious and invested.

Two sisters watch their father being taken by other worldly creatures and discover that their family history includes being part of the royal family from the first realm, a land where evil has taken over. Along with some new friends, the girls must help to rescue their father and save the kingdom.
I am a huge fan of Peter F Hamilton's science fiction novels so was intrigued to read this one. Honestly, it was very wordy and for a kids book, I fear kids will give up before they reach the end. The story is OK but the action isn't constant and the sisters weren't the kind of characters you normally invest emotion into as you read. Of course, I am no longer young and therefore not the target audience so what do I know.

I thought the language and some of the violence might not work well for the twelve year old I know, but I did get caught up in this; author seemed to relax into it after half way and I really enjoyed it.
However it's a pity we had to go with the 'I'm secretly a royal' trope again . . . Cant kids be brave and determined without blue blood? Cant they be resourceful and clever and not only win thanks to magic unearned?
I'm just bitching, read it, its good.

As others have said, this is reminiscent of the Narnia books, but there's no religious undertone here. On form for Hamilton though, there is a gateway that takes people to another world.
Although this was short, it didn't feel too rushed, but I felt the ending fizzled out a little bit, and should have been bigger.

Mr. Hamilton should really stick to what he knows best. Voidhawks and Silfen, not dwarves and talking squirrels.
Not terribly impressed with this cookie-cutter Narnia clone.

Fun. I really wanted to LOVE it - but it didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Very well imagined and well read, but I struggled to get into this.
Parts were a bit strange, such as Queen Elizabeth's cameo and the hippie elves.

Loved this book and was very sad to see the next one not due out till summer 2016! Also loved by my daughter who is slightly younger then the intended audience so has a very wide appeal.

I'm a big fan of Peter Hamilton and so I was very intrigued when I found out that he's also writing for a younger audience.
I read this to my 7 year old daughter. I feel it was a good pick for a daddy-read-to-me-book. It also had the added benefit that the two main characters are also girls.
The story was a little predictable, but still quite enjoyable. My daughter enjoyed listening to the story unfold and was quite excited when the book reveals the truth behind the girls' dad and consequently their own origin.
We will definitely be reading the sequels.
