Triskellion

Triskellion by Will Peterson

First book in the Triskellion trilogy.

This book was about to children, Rachel and Adam, who live with their mum in New York. They are sent for a fortnight holiday in England with their grandma so their mum can sort out her affairs. When they get to Triskellion they are greeted by no-one. They have to find their grandma's house which is on the edge of town. When they try to leave after a few days of weirdness, the train is cancelled after rocks fell on the track and the roads are blocked. But things are going to get much worse. I enjoyed this book and can't wait for the second book after reading the taster. I enjoyed this style of writing as it is very descriptive. i thought at first glance that it would be a horror book but it was actually really entertaining, even if there were some gory parts. I am giving it an 8/10.

This book was an enjoyable romp in Cornwall. It reminded me a bit of the famous five to start with however it does get quite dark and forbidding as the story evolves. The supernatural features heavily in this tale with bees and their control one of the many strange occurences. The two children who are the main characters in this story are from America. They find their destiny however in a small Cornish village. I found the plot a little bit predictable at times and the outcome of the story (don't worry I won't spoil it) disappointing. I give this a 6 out of 10. I may try the next one to see if it improves.
