The Makers of Magic - The Four Winds by A.M. Burn

William Taylor feels like a total school failure and misfit. That is, until his life is turned around when he receives an invitation from his favourite teacher to enter the hidden Thomon world and join Belbury Academy. Here he is not perceived as a school failure but a highly gifted individual. William embraces this thrilling and advanced world, where he learns to use an object-altering, imagination controlled device called a Hadron-Tool. However this exciting adventure soon turns dangerous when he uncovers a plot by Krevak Ragwort to control world-altering technology, and must be stopped at all costs.

Reviews
"Burn has created an immersive & vibrant world, where the engineering minds of those we often overlook, lead us to the magic we all long for. Couldn't put it down!" reader's comments.

"Right from the opening chapter, it becomes apparent that The Makers of Magic is a work of literary brilliance. The author's writing style is impeccable, effortlessly bringing the story to life with vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue.

One of the most impressive aspects is its ability to ignite inspiration and empowerment in its readers, especially children who may feel like they don't quite fit into the conventional school system. The well-thought-out plot emphasises the importance of embracing one's individual strengths and uncovering amazing opportunities in life. Through the characters' journey, readers are encouraged to have faith in themselves and their own unique abilities.

Every single detail in the story contributes to an immersive experience in an entirely different world. In fact, I found myself longing for my own Hadron Tool, and I'm certain that children will feel the exact same way. Actually, it took me back to the same excitement I felt when I first dove into the magical realm of Harry Potter!

I have no reservations in saying that this exciting, uplifting book will be a big hit in the world of children's literature. A.M.Burn is undeniably a maker of literary magic!"
