'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.' - Katherine Beard, Writer and Journalist
