Thank you Walker Books for publishing this amazing author and allowing me the chance to review this book *bows down*

Synopsis:

In London’s Belgravia, Tamsin lives next door to Edie St Clair, famous author of the ‘London of the Bells’ series of graphic novels. With the series’ tenth and final novel overdue, Tamsin offers her idol help and discovers that Edie can literally draw herself into her stories. When Edie goes missing, Tamsin draws herself into the novel and lands in a world of unexpected danger. There, Tamsin discovers that Edie needs her more than she could have realised – only she has the power to write the perfect ending to this story. But the perfect ending will come at a great cost to all.

From a trusted author who knows what her middle-grade audience wants to read. A strong follow-up title to Allison’s spooky middle grade titles The Turnkey, The Seven Keys and The Mulberry Tree. True to Rushby’s style, When This Bell Rings is a page-turning mystery that will keep readers enthralled until the very end

Review:

Was I over the moon that Allison has another book out in the wild? Hell yeah I am!!!!

Did I squeal like a child when that book rocked up at my doorstep? Of course!!!

Am I slightly obsessed? Damn right I am.

The reason why is because Allison Rushby’s work is fantastic is because she is such a brilliant writer. Her use of delicate and descriptive words builds the world and setting in your head so easily. But you also get a story within a story. There is always an underlying story or meaning within her work and I absolutely adore picking up on it. A middle grad read with an adult meaning. I love it.

Again, I loved it. The characters were beautiful, caring, sweet and overall, just divine. The story was brilliant and entertaining and the writing, well I just sat their and fangirled. I love it and Rushby is hands down my favourite middle grade author!
