“Well-written and a gripping page turner, The Book of Learning will keep readers enthralled and guessing until the final page when some answers are given – and as it is part of a trilogy, the pace and plot will leave them wanting more. Murray’s characterisation is well-conveyed, and the relationship between Ebony and her grandfather brilliantly captured. Highly recommended for 9 -12 year olds” Children’s Books Ireland
“Murray creates a terrifically fierce heroine in Ebony Smart. Fighting against all authority, Ebony is never afraid to speak her mind or face grave danger. And yet the story contains many more interesting characters… This mystery and adventure is well-paced and entertaining, making for a great page-turner. Nobody is to be trusted and a murky presence constantly lurks in the shadows, creating good tension.” The Looking Glass

OMG, I just finished the book within a week of buying it. Although I am not in the recommended age group, I am already in my fourties, all I can say is I LOVED IT. Best Book I have read since the Harry Potter Books. I can not wait for the second part.
Thank you for giving me a week full of fun and seven nights of going to sleep late as I could not put your book away dear E.R. Murray.
