The Queen and the Nobody Boy is the second Fontanian journey. What do you do in a war with Um’ Binnia? Magic versus machines, run away with Sibilla and Hodie to find out! Not read The Travelling Restaurant? Well Jasper and Sibilla are royal siblings who live in a land called Fontania and are currently at war with Um’Binnia who are all for high tech stuff while Fontania relies on magic.
I’m liking
The author’s imagination in coming up with ideas like wind trains, plus the anxious setting of war.
Things that made me go hmmmm
Nothing really! I thought it was probably even better than the first book.
The conclusion
A good book to read, try to read The Travelling Restaurant first to understand more. You don’t need to, but it helps. Independent readers who love some mystery and adventure would love this, I think.
