“You will not want to put it down.”
“This action-packed story follows the fabulous young magician Flick Lions, as she enters a new magic competition. Flick is a wonderful role model which some readers are going to relate to. She doesn’t let her disability interfere with the task she has been set which enables this book to not just be supportive but educational as well. The twists and turns throughout are just magnificent as Justyn is such a clever writer. The ending is just wow….. the series is just getting better and better! I cannot wait for the next instalment – there better be one anyway!”
The Great Fox Heist – early copy review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The Great Fox Heist is a thrilling adventure that will keep you guessing; loyalties are tested and questions are definitely raised. With twists that will leave you reeling, I promise that this is a sequel that is even better than the first book and one that will leave you desperately hoping that there will be a book 3. It’s a compelling read and one that got me out of bed early on Saturday morning so I could finish it. I loved this book and will be shouting about it every chance I get – and I will absolutely be adding it to my April display in Waterstones Newcastle.”
