Eleven-year-old Thomas Farrell is resigned to the fact that he'll never know the identity of his real parents. Then something happens that catapults him from Holten Layme, Hertfordshire, England, into a world of myth and magic. With the aid of his friends, a strange glass orb containing a serpent, and a nasty-looking gruagach called Ghillie Dhu, Thomas embarks on a journey to discover more about his mother and father, and, in doing so, finds out his own unique identity and the dark powers he must contend with if he is to come into his otherworldly inheritance...
"Characters, plot and pace - spot-on! Enjoyed the wonderful description. Definitely recommend this book for young and old!" - Ngaire Elder, author.
The Serpent in the Glass is aimed at the 9-12 age group, but is equally enjoyed by old and young alike. It is 74,000 words in length and written by British indie writer D.M. Andrews, author of Dreamwalkers (Part One), Jack MacFadden and the Faerie Realm, and the hilarious Pride and Prejudice parody, Pied and Prodigious.
