Ross Montgomery Press Reviews
I've long been a fan of Ross Montgomery but, along with The Midnight Guardians, The Chime Seekers is story-telling in a different league [...] a concept perfectly poised to capture children's imaginations and take them on this most fabulous journey into the magical world of British folklore. -- Fiona Noble - The Bookseller
A quest like no other: Ross Montgomery is on spectacular form in this brilliant, edge-of-your seat story about magic, unlikely alliances and talking signposts. - Emma Carroll
A deliciously creepy, wonderfully imaginative, folklore-filled tale from a hugely talented and accomplished storyteller. - Sophie Anderson
The Chime Seekers is another enchanting masterpiece from Ross Montgomery. Charming, hilarious and brimming with magic, it swept me up from the first page and brought me on a whirlwind adventure, through a land rich with ancient folklore, tricksy bargains and sneaky faeries. In fact, this tale has been told with such wizardry, I'm beginning to wonder if Ross might be a faerie, too. - Catherine Doyle
I really enjoyed this. Very page-turny, with enough funny bits to stop it being too scary. - Philip Reeve
