Sky Lanterns Over Nether Ides

by Pattison Telford

Imagine if death was coming for you and you didn’t know it. Imagine if a hidden conflict between magic and nanotechnology snatched away your parents. If you were one of the Redferne siblings, could you decipher the threats soon enough to avoid disaster? Faraday Redferne is a ferocious analyzer and strives to supply meaning to his parents’ deaths. He seeks signs of conspiracy, but only his younger sister Higgs has the strength and rage to handle the truth. The Redfernes must unmask and neutralize the conspirators of the Drowned Cabal, while fending off unsettling technology and figuring out why members of the polo club eat so many parsnips. They accept the challenge and grow from victims of tragedy into shapers of their shared destiny. Sky Lanterns Over Nether Ides is a Young Adult conspiracy story set in modern day Britain with a hint of fantasy. Joining the Redferne family’s struggle, you will see the pieces of the puzzle arranging, maybe even before they can.

A must read book.

This is a brilliant character led book for kids and adults alike. Jam packed with humour, danger, intrigue, and fabulously clever characters. The Red Redfern children remind me a little of the famous five children, and as I grew up on their mysteries and twisting plots, this can only be a good thing.
Pat Telford brings the quirks of the different characters to life in a seamless way, no shoe horning in of characteristics just to make a point. It is well crafted and a very enjoyable read for most ages.
