SCOTT PACK
'THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE BOOKS TRADE'
REVIEWS A CAMPION BOOK:
KERNOWLAND THE CRYSTAL POOL

Children's Books of the Year 2006:

"... Jack Trelawny's Kernowland is about as good as they get... first rate... one of those little hardbacks that look so good on the shelf. The story takes its brother and sister protagonists to Cornwall and then through a magic cave to Kernowland where adventures ensue. Witty, scary and full of adventure the use of alternative versions of West Country landmarks in the imagined world is very clever and the environmental message a great one for kids."
