A Clock Of Stars - The Shadow Moth

With all the magic of Narnia and the humour of Mary Poppins, this is a future middle grade fantasy classic – and the beginning of an unforgettable journey… Imogen should be nice to her little sister Marie. She should be nice to her mum’s boyfriend too. And she certainly shouldn’t follow a strange silver moth through a door in a tree. But then… who does what they’re told? Followed by Marie, Imogen finds herself falling into a magical kingdom where the two sisters are swept up in a thrilling race against time – helped by the spoiled prince of the kingdom, a dancing bear, a very grumpy hunter… and even the stars above them. Thrilling, sharply funny, and with characters you will fall in love with, A Clock of Stars is a timeless fantasy from an astonishing new voice.

Hootworthy or Not?

🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: A Clock of Stars – The Shadow Moth by Francesca Gibbons 📖 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is a portal to another world—literally! When Imogen and Marie follow a magical moth, they end up in a mysterious kingdom full of danger, adventure, and strange creatures. I loved how fast-paced and exciting the story was, with so many unexpected twists! 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book doesn’t have loads of pictures, but the descriptions are so vivid and beautiful that I felt like I was right there in the kingdom of Yaroslav. The cover art is absolutely stunning, too! 💡 Wise Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This story shows that being brave doesn’t mean not being scared—it means doing things even when you are. Imogen is bold and adventurous, while Marie is quieter and thoughtful, but both sisters learn to trust themselves and each other. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 5/5 Hoots – A magical must-read! If you love hidden worlds, fearless heroines, and thrilling adventures, this book is perfect. It reminded me of Narnia and The Neverending Story, but with its own unique magic. I can’t wait to read the next one!
