review 1: I read this after picking up the first one on a whim and enjoying it. I really loved this one and could not put it down. I thought that it was much darker and to be honest for a children's book quite scary, the demon was like something out of a bad dream so it this into consideration if your children are young. The story was fast paced and intense the only thing I could find wrong with it is that there are no more adventures to read dispute the hint at the end.
review 2: The Crowfield Demon is a great follow up to the Middle Grade book The Crowfield Curse. I think the publisher's blurb makes the book sound kind of silly. But Walsh does a great job of weaving an accurate historical picture of a 14th English Abbey and fantasy. She adds in historical content so... more well that you don't really realize it until you reach the glossary in the back. I found the inclusion of angels and demons along side fay and hobgoblins unique. I don't usually see that in fantasy books. But it is a great mesh of the new ways and the old ways. I was really amazed with this book and how the author made it just want to keep me reading the book because of all the suspense that the book created!! I also thought the characters were a lot of fun. Will is a great protagonist. He is kind, loyal, and smart. But, Brother Walter is the best character by far. He is funny and observant. I also really like Shadlok. He is mysterious and proud, but ultimately loyal to Will. The only thing I found strange was that most of the monks are not very nice to Will. Only Brother Snail seems to like Will's company. I'm not sure why that is. I really liked this and was well written. In the future I would like to read more books from Pat Walsh! less
