'Full of inventiveness and imagination. It’s warm, funny, sad,
happy. Do read it'
*An Awfully Big Blog Adventure*
'Walking Mountain is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time
... a hidden treasure'
*The Bookwitch*
‘Another compelling futuristic story, fantastic and baroque.
Lennon’s world is laced with captivating detail, from the strange
animals, gows and marmoldes, to the extraordinary figure at the
heart of the story, The Meteor Driver’
*The Herald*
'It is perhaps inevitable that any book that can be described by
the phrase "epic quest" evokes comparisons with "The Hobbit", and
it's a comparison which is entirely justified in terms of the way
the world Joan Lennon has created draws the reader in and keeps you
completely enthralled. This is a great book we'd strongly recommend
to the young reader or readers in your life'
