Marvellously melding a classic quest adventure with steam-punk vibes, Vashti Hardy’s The Amulet of Hath, second book in the Relic Hunters series, sees the Greystones family race to retrieve an ancient relic.
Written to appeal to 9+-year-olds, the pitch-perfect style and formatting make it ideal for those with a younger reading age to become fully engaged with an action-and-peril-packed escapade. As for the escapade, it revolves around famous relic hunter Aunt Lucy requiring the cunning support of her niece and nephew, Mabel and Will, when the Amulet of Hath, which “held the clues to a hidden stash of treasure in the country of Zephra”, falls into the very wrong hands.
Bursting with cliff-hangers, clues, secrets and symbols, and further enlivened by Rebecca Sheerin’s illustrations, The Amulet of Hath is a treasure trove of trickery, tension, drama and plot-driving dialogue.
