Unforgettable and wildly original, Oliver Caine's in Trouble Again by Australian writer William Kondylis is a real page-turner that teaches young readers to follow their dreams-and where to look for trouble. For fans of The Spiderwick Chronicles and The Dragon Rider, this new world voyage offers an imaginative madcap adventure in which characters defy what's expected of them in order to stay alive. It's hard to believe twelve-year-old thrill-seeking Oliver Caine ever said his life was boring. What he wouldn't give for a humdrum day! And while Oliver has always been a boy to find trouble, it isn't until he is transported to a new world with his nagging, condescending half-sister Sarah and his best friend Peter, a really timid foodie, that big trouble gets an upper hand. It comes in the form of an ancient text, a tome that Oliver, Sarah, and Peter must understand before they can survive it. As they dodge aggressive seven-foot lizards, a fierce two-headed Cyclops, and a sorcerer with a strong resemblance to their science teacher, they'll be guided by the spirit-guarded Pool of Prophecy and a gentle wizard. But it's the stuff they find in themselves that will make the difference.

I was so pleased that this book didn't give the same old fantasy story that's just been rehashed. There are sorcerers, mythological creatures and heaps of actions. The author created good characters and tells a great story. He also finishes the story well and leaves the option open there for a sequel. Will there be a book 2 ??20/04/2011

Once in a while a fantasy comes along that will blow you away. This is that fantasy. Great story and awesome battles scenes too. As Oliver says when he's fighting the Manipal, "please don't let this be the end." Mr Kondylis I'm counting on you to get book 2 out soon!
