Well, The Light Thieves was a fantastic eco read that I couldn't put down! From the first chapter you are put right at the heart of the action and adventure, and this just makes you want to read on and not stop.

The series is a bestselling series has sold over 230,000 copies in the UK and counting and is published in 13 languages to date. Perfect has also been optioned for an animated TV series by Jellyfish Productions. Grian was a likable protagonist that you couldn't help but root for throughout the story. His bravery and willingness to do what's right were inspiring, and I am excited to see how he grows throughout the series. His friendship with Jeffrey and Shelli was heartwarming to read about, and the dynamics between the three brought some comic relief to what could be quite a serious read. I am from Kilkenny, a medieval, haunted city in the south of Ireland, which was the inspiration for the town in A Place Called Perfect. I write stories full of adventure because I get bored really easily.The characters are great too. I really liked how Grian wasn't actually that bright. He struggles with a lot of things and depends on his friends for help, and that really worked for me. He had courage though, and I loved his determination to keep going. Jeffrey was a fascinating character, and one I'd like to see more of. His relationship with his parents was hinted at frequently and is definitely something I'd like to see explored in later books. Shelli was also brilliant. With her close affinity to animals and apparent powers over them, and her disdain of modern technology, she was the ideal third member of the group. But it is the quirky, clever and lovable characters of Grian, Jeffrey and Shelli, who capture your heart and keep the tension throughout their friendship. However, the suspense throughout this dark mystery makes you questions your own decisions, who you trust and how you live your life. Nature NEEDS to be respected. We as humans NEED to make changes. Thinking of others should be commonplace. The Light Thieves follows a world where the Earth has tilted onto the side, and the story of Grian, his friends Jeffrey and Shelli, when his sister goes off to a new city created by billionaire tech genius Howard Hansom to fix the problem of the Earth tilting. But when the three reach the city, Grian's sister is nowhere to be found, and mysteries abound.

The Light Thieves' is an exciting and dramatic story bursting with ideas to question your thoughts. I very much NEED to read the next instalment!!!Let's start with the mystery at the heart of the book. It's totally gripping! There are strange, cloaked figures floating around, letting themselves into people's houses, hunting people through the streets. There's a missing sister and a missing grandfather. A tech genius who's just too good to be true. It's complex and exciting and utterly mysterious. The world has shifted on its tilt and a dark mark has appeared on the sun. But the majority of the population believe in the tilt and trust billionaire Howard Hansom as the man to save the world. Helena Duggan writes boldly, wildly almost outrageously combining humour, fear and friendship to keep you on the edge of your seat. Clever, quirky and hugely imaginative, discover the eagerly anticipated new eco-adventure series from the bestselling author of A Place Called Perfect. A Place Called Perfect was my first book. It was published in August 2017 and was a Waterstones Book of the Month. It won numerous awards including Crimefest Children's Book of the Year and was nominated for the Irish Book Awards and Waterstones Children's Prize. Sometimes as an adult reading middle grade I can predict everything that will happen, but I found that this book was genuinely keeping me guessing, it was a really fun reading experience.
