Description

When Steve Haven’s uncle dies, Steve finds himself the guardian of a strange artefact known only as the Reactor. But there are people out there who want the Reactor: dangerous and powerful people, who will stop at nothing to get it.

Steve is sucked into a race against time to save two worlds (one magical and one technological) from an evil he could never have imagined and, in doing so, is forced to rely on people who, just a few days before, he would never have believed could exist.

Haven Wakes is an exciting and enthralling journey through new worlds, both futuristic and magical.

When Steve Haven’s uncle dies, Steve finds himself the guardian of a strange artefact known only as the Reactor. But there are people out there who want the Reactor: dangerous and powerful people...

"Shades of Artemis Fowl, hints of Harry Potter, and a style all its own."

"What if the world wasn't made just of what we see? What if there were robots, hidden cities, extraordinary powers and exceptional creatures? What if you opened a book thinking, ok, here's another YA and after a few pages you weren't able to put it down? Havens Wakes has all this and a lot more."

This is a great story about a young boy that stumbles his way into a magical world. He is not magical himself, but he is befriended by magical sorts that help him as he deals with the murder of his uncle and the absence of his parents. He finds a place within this magical community and develops the confidence to succeed in his boarding school as well. The quest is a rich series of adventures that include finding a magical object, dealing with robots with AI, collaborating with a shadow of a person and other mystical beings. It is a wonderfully imaginative world with unique creatures and experiences, and the life lessons are relevant to children today. I fully enjoyed the book and look forward to the subsequent installments (the book ends, but the story definitely continues ...)!

this book seems like a fun fantasy! would recommend to all fantasy lovers. This is a book that made me feel so comfortable and cosy.. A good read for all fantasy fans that like a well written easy read. The book starts when Steve is dropped into an adventure when his Uncle dies, his mother rushes off to find his father leaving Steve at boarding school and a package is mysteriously left for him. Magic is not far away, and Steve’s eyes are about to be opened, and news friends will be needed to help him over come the villains’ dastardly plans. This is the first book in the series, but can be read as a stand alone; the book finishes this part of our journey with Steve.
