Used as an audiobook to help me sleep so will pass on a rating! 

This was a childhood favourite of mine, it does feel a bit younger but a good replacement for another well known wizard boy series. I will also add that I easily read through and enjoyed these as a child when I couldn't with the latter after a number of attempts. So they are definitely better written too! 

If I have to be reallyyy picky I do think I  love Nimmo's "the snow spider" series a little bit more :)
