**A really good end to the Doomspell Trilogy**
In book two the magical powers of children were unleashed across the whole of planet Earth. In this conclusion to the trilogy the children across the world become more powerful than adults - the tables are reversed! Children spend their days playing, practising their newly-found magic, testing themselves and each other in deadly games.
Rachel and her brother, Eric, try to keep a low profile, although this is tricky for Rachel who has been raised to celebrity status and has to keep evading her fans. However, these two and the wonderful wizard, Larpskendya, know that something far more important is brewing, an attack from the Griddas who have taken rule of the planet of Ool (from the witches before them). These Griddas are a breed of witch, far more impressive and terrifying than those that ruled before them.
Do the children of Earth stand a chance against these Griddas when it comes to defending their planet? Can the wizards help them? Read this. I can recommend the trilogy to everyone 8+. ( )
