"I loved this book! A fantastic, fast-paced adventure, The Chalice of Fortune transports readers to a world of castles, ghosts, secret passages and teenage friendships; to a place where the seemingly impossible is already happening. Well-written and perfectly researched, the story’s rich historical detail makes for a fascinating contrast to everyday student life in the dark shadow of World War II in rural England. Echoing Blyton in the best of ways, the heroine and her enigmatic supporting cast, mysterious settings and ancient riddles made this story impossible to put down."

"Dannie never quite fits in. She has always been considered the odd one out. And now she finds out that she can communicate with ghosts and the fate of the world may rest in her hands! Set in Warwickshire, England, during World War II, the wonderfully detailed historical elements woven through the action provide the perfect backdrop for an engaging coming of age story where Dannie’s emerging powers may be the least of her problems. The Chalice of Fortune is a page-turner that delivers on multiple fronts."

Petra Costa, Author of the When Magic Awakes series
