review 1: I only picked this book up because I liked the cover and the blurb made it sound interesting but I didn't actually finish this bookI did not know it was a Childers book when I bought it so the language really annoyed me and couldn't read it, it would probably be enjoyed by kids but I think you can tell it was not written by a proper author as the writing style was quite poor.2/5 stars but would be enjoyed by younger children
review 2: I have just finished the book and its amazing! I bought it at the book launch and being a primary teacher haven't had time until this week to read it. I read it on the train to and from London today and was mesmerised... didn't want to leave the train for my stop because I hadn't quite finished it! Its a creative fantasy which has... more captured the essence of what it is like to be a child and the insecurities we all face in life. It tells the story of three children Josh, Michael and Beth and I completely identify with Josh in particular; as the eldest out of my siblings you feel the need to protect them. Steo has taken the magic of other worlds quite clearly from Narnia and The Lord of the Rings but has concentrated on the idea of courage. We don't have to 'look' brave to know we are courageous - Johnny Welts showed this - it took more courage for him to shake Josh's hand in apology than beating others. As well as being magical and a great book to escape to, it has a serious message - we are the carers of this world and effect the seasons too. All in all The Tree of Seasons is a great book for young and old and perfect for any fantasy fan. less
