Conjuror is the latest collaboration from John and Carole E. Barrowman. This is the fourth book they have written together, and the first in the new Orion Chronicles series. It continues the story of Em and Matt Calder, but leads readers on a much deeper and darker path. Conjuror opens with Remy w...

Twelve-year-old twins Matt and Em Calder have extraordinary powers: They can bring art to life or enter paintings at will. As their powers grow, they are in danger from two groups. One wants to imprison them, the other wants to use them to access the terrors of Hollow Earth. Love this story. There...

The twins' dad was not a good father. He tried to use their power. The twins' mom is not that good either, she forbid them to use their power. The twins are using their power but got into trouble. Now, why do I still like this book. 100 pages in. And the blind friend is still the main charac...

The central characters are a pair of twin, a brother and sister twin who could communicate telepathically and could draw and go into drawing. This reminded of Land of Stories and Tuesday Next book world. But that's not it. This is more like two children having X-men power, like in the series He...

Read this review, and many more on my blog October Tune!Honestly, one of the reasons I was interested in this book, was because it was co-written by John Barrowman, who most of you might know from either Doctor Who, Torchwood or Arrow. Then, of course, I read the summary and I thought it sounded int...

So fantastic. He tells you what really happened, even if it was bad. He doesn't brush everything golden just to sound good, or stay in everyone's good books. This book makes you respect him just so much more. And want to know more.
The Hiding Spot
The Hiding Spot rated it 12 years ago
I picked up Hollow Earth because I loved the cover. Upon closer inspection, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it features twins... to be more exact, magic wielding twins who can manipulate artwork. I wasn't aware until after I'd read the novel (and absolutely adored it) that the half of th...
