The Children of Pisces is a futuristic masterpiece, with well-crafted characters and an engaging plot line. It was suspenseful and had excellent pacing, which kept me on my toes throughout the whole book. Each chapter was exciting and new, not spoon-feeding you the story, but letting you guess and theorise what will happen next. I felt more and more connected to Tammy & Mikie as their adventure progressed, and I can’t wait for the sequel. I would give this book more stars if I could, but five is the limit!

The Children Of Pisces is a book that caught my attention with the cover alone. The blurb then truly drew me in. I haven't come across R E Lewin before so, wasn't even sure if this book would really be for me. I just know that I am a reader who only needs a great story and I can fall in love with any book easily. A book that's aimed at 10 to 14 years old children, The Children of Pisces is a story that blends genres together. It is speculative story set in a dystopian world that has dashes of sci-fi throughout. Such a wondrous tale that I can see Children really becoming immersed in the stories of Tammy and Mikie, our two young main characters. The plot slowly builds as the story unfolds and we follow both children in their adventures. Mikie is a boy who can read minds and also has the power to control them. Tammy has the power to connect and communicate with animals. This alone means animals trust her and will a fully follow her around. An adopted child, her new parents are more than amazed as they see it happening on their safari park. These two characters are separate but their story arcs run alongside each other as they move on a path closer and closer to each other. Tammy and Mikie share something,it's not physical and neither of them are just a run of the mill child. They are more than that and have possibilities to be weapons or assets. They each have a path to chose but which will it be? This is not just a simple adventure book. This is heartwarming, interesting and its one that brings humanity into question. The humanity in Tammy and Mikie, will that be the saving of them, or will their instincts overpower the humanity they have inside? The world building immersed me to the point that I didn't want to leave these kids. I can really see a child adoring this world that transcends normal life. It is a book that can open their minds to things they wouldn't normally think off. From the start this is a well written, dramatic and well paces book that held me there until I had read the last page! I am looking forward to the next book and wondering what it will bring.

I bought this for my daughter who loves to read and adores Harry Potter. She read this book in a few days. She was running out of her room at night with excited sharing what she was reading. In the morning she was picking up the book again before school. She thinks this book is one of the most exciting books she has ever read and she’s read a lot. I have just ordered the next one

I read this book over a rainy weekend and absolutely loved it. I then gave it to my 10 yo to read. He couldn’t put it down. I know it is aimed at older kids. He’s a very advanced reader. We are both looking forward to reading the sequels.

My grandson was very excited to meet the author at her visit to his school recently and to come away with his signed copy of The Children of Pisces- The Two Pendants. At 12 years old, he has never been a great reader but fired with enthusiasm after the visit, he did read the book and was very enthusiastic about it! In fact, so much so that he brought the book to show me a few weeks ago and was telling me how much he was enjoying it. He asked if I would like to read it too and when I saw him a couple of weeks ago, he brought the book for me to borrow - I had to promise to look after it very carefully! As soon as I started to read, I understood why he loved it so much and I did not want to put it down either! I have always had a love of books shared with his older sister and now, it seems that my grandson may be tempted to leave the screen games for a while and engage his brain and imagination by reading books as well. As an energy healer, I love that references to this are included in the story as it is such a wonderful thing which is often pooh-poohed and misunderstood. However, my grandson does understand the concept of energy manipulation because of his karate training. We are both very much looking forward to the next book in the series coming out soon which I have promised to buy for him in due course. Keep up the good work Rachel! You have really helped a young man to learn to enjoy his reading! Thank you.
