Who or what is Endymion Spring? A power for good, or for evil . . . A legendary book that holds the secret to a world of knowledge . . . A young boy without a voice - whose five-hundred-year-old story is about to explode in the twenty-first century . . . Blake is visiting Oxford with his academic mother and his kid sister. While their mum immerses herself in olde worlde volumes, Blake feels trapped in the dusty air of the college library. Until one day, Blake is running his finger along the shelf and feels something pierce his finger, drawing blood - like a bite. The book responsible is a battered old volume, with a strange clasp like a serpent's head - with real fangs. Printed on its front are words: Endymion Spring. Its paper is almost luminous - blank, wordless, but with a texture that seems to shine, and fine veins running through it. The paper quivers, as if it's alive. And as Blake looks, words begin to appear on the page - words meant only for him; words no one else can see. The book has been waiting five-hundred years for the right boy; now it must fulfill its destiny . . .

This book fascinates, keeps you in suspence. The story line jumps back and forth in time, but the book design (the ancient looking pages) reminds you when the author has carried you back. This makes it very interesting and visually appealing for adults and children. His ability to see a fantasy story from the history of printing, really shows how a mind can be expanded from simple facts. Thanks for the creativity....it was exciting to read.

Great Read
This is a wonderfully imaginative book. The characters quickly lure you into the dual worlds of past and present. Skelton does a fine job of keeping the children from sounding or acting more mature than their ages so that the mystery of Endymion Spring is as freshly and innocently uncovered for the reader as it is for the children. The historical information about books, Gutenberg and printing, and Oxford, as well as the world of academia, is fascinating, interestingly presented, and thorough. This book will hold the fascination of both children and adults, especially bibliophiles and fantasy literature fans. Great read!
