Britfield & The Lost Crown, by C.R. Stewart, earns the Literary Classics Seal of Approval

Tom has lived at Weatherly Orphanage for most of his young life.  Run by a miserable lot, Weatherly is more like a prison than an orphanage and the kids there are deprived of many things, including books to read.  The kids at Weatherly, who are all referred to by numbers rather than names, take turns sneaking books from the main house where the owners live.  This worthwhile but dangerous task is done in the dark of night and each of the older kids takes a turn to ensure the orphans will have a fresh supply of books to read.  But when it's Tom's turn to sneak a book he soon becomes suspect and is interrogated by one of the thugs who runs the place.  That's when Tom's world is turned completely upside down, because he soon learns, to his surprise, that his parents may still be alive.  Determined to discover the truth about his past, he and his best friend, Sarah, make plans to escape Weatherly. With the help of the other orphans, Tom and Sarah are soon off on a grand adventure where the two will experience places and things beyond their wildest imaginations.

Rave Reviews for Strange Metamorphosis

 

When P.C.R. Monk set out to write his debut novel, he did so with the flourish and finesse of an established author.  His book, Strange Metamorphosis, is as rich and layered as a buttery croissant and just as gratifying to devour.  Seasoned with sage tidbits of choice life lessons throughout, steeped in adventure and sprinkled with just a touch of romance, this book is perfectly balanced to provide an enticing read that is destined to become a treasured piece of literature for the young and young at heart.

 

Marcel Dassaud is a boy of exceptional talent who is at a stage in life where he must decide between two paths, both of which have the potential for completely divergent outcomes.  Reflecting upon his options, he finds himself uttering his contemplation to an ancient oak tree which, according to legend, possesses magical powers to impart great wisdom.  Moments later he finds himself shrunken to the size of the bugs he once collected for sport.  It is soon revealed to him by a gallfly that in order to return to his former state, he must embark on a quest to gather some of the royal jelly which is heavily guarded by bees.  He must do this within three days, or his metamorphosis into a bug will be complete and he will never return to his human state. 

 

Along the way, Marcel discovers much about himself, his friends, and the bugs he encounters while seeking the royal jelly.  Strange Metamorphosis, is an exciting and whimsical adventure, written with great aplomb and a style which many authors can only hope to achieve within their lifetime.

 

Strange Metamorphosis, comes highly recommended for classroom educators and school and home libraries and has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval
