A rollercoaster of a seventeenth century adventure begins with Jack’s dramatic kidnapping on his twelfth birthday. Jack’s been selected as the Radiant Boy and the evil Magus needs to get his hands on him so that he can turn London into a city of gold and become as rich as rich. But Jack is no pushover. He’ll fight to the end to save London from its terrible fate even though it involves facing down knights and dragons in this inventive and heroic story which even includes a cameo appearance by Queen Elizabeth 1 herself.

This is Jeanette Winterson is at  inventive, lyrical, imaginative best.


Winterson won the Whitbread Award (now the Costa Book Award) with her first novel, Oranges are not the only Fruit, but her first novel written for children, Tanglewreck,  was not published until 2006 and was released to huge acclaim.
