The violet keystone by Garth Nix (Book 6 in The Seventh Tower series)

Tal and Milla are only one step away from death, while the evil that has controlled their world for so long is about to triumph. If the Veil is lifted, nothing can save the Dark World. Their one glimmer of hope is to confront the monster Sharrakor and regain the violet keystone.
A very good book, particularly the bit about the worm. K.A. (S3) ****

The Ely Plot by Joan Lennon

You’d think growing up in a medieval abbey, surrounded by nothing but monks and hundreds of miles of swamp, would be pretty boring. Pip thinks so too, until the day he meets Perfect, a small stone gargoyle with a life of her own. Before long, the two find themselves in the midst of an assassination attempt against the new king, escaping into the cold dark night, being chased across the fens by a man bent on killing them …Boring? Not so much.

An amazing heartwarming story and a true fantasy story. J.B. (S1) *****
