This review is from: The Bridge in the Clouds (Mass Market Paperback)
William Corlett has once again produced an outstanding novel in the young adult series The Magician's House Quartet. This fourth and final book in the series, The Bridge in the Clouds, is set in the mysterious Golden Valley, where the three Constant children, William, Mary, and, Alice spend their holidays.From the moment the Constant children arrive at the Golden House, where their Uncle Jack, his fiancée Phoebe, and their friend Meg live, they know something is not right. The children's friend, teacher, and the past owner of their Uncle's house, Stephen Tyler also known as the Magician, has not come to visit them since the beginning of their holiday. The children fear he is growing old and is too weak to time travel from his home in the 1930s, as he has done on previous holidays. Even the valley, which is usually bursting with life, seems to be peculiarly quiet. When the children finally get the chance to ask Spot, their Uncle's dog, what is going on he tells them the humans are fighting. So, the children take matters into their own hands by trying to travel back to the Magician's time, to ask what is happening. The suspense increases when a terrible mistake occurs in the process and they bring part of the Magician's evil assistant and the antagonist, Morden into their time. Throughout the book you can feel the tension and relief, which is almost the constant mood as slowly the children solve their problems. In this book the reader will witness the joy of the children's journey to finally begin to understand magic. The three characters are all people we can easily relate to and that, in the end, seem like one of our own friends. This is an excellent book that I think everyone will enjoy reading. It may be confusing to new readers of The Magician's House Quartet, but if you have read the first three books in the series I'm sure you'll enjoy this final book.

This review is from: The Bridge in the Clouds (Mass Market Paperback)
I've finished reading the quartet of "the Magician's house". All of them are real good and exciting. Once you've started reading the book, you can't put it down again. Morever, the writing techniques and the desciprtions of the outdoors are fantastic. However, i found the fourth book somehow condusing. But overall, this book is an exciting adventure for young readers.
