Britfield & The Lost Crown Review:

What a delightful book! I feel like I was on a whirlwind ride throughout England. What starts out as a very Dickensian story, soon becomes a fast, high speed, adventure ride throughout the United Kingdom.

This is the perfect middle grade adventure to read! The characters are endearing, the plot is engaging, and the pacing is fast and entertaining. Its one of those book that I feel a reader of any age would enjoy. Moreover, there are secrets, conspiracies, high speed chases, and action and adventure. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. Usually, there are some favorite moments which stand out in a story, but in this book, I truly loved every scene. Whether it is Sarah and Tom in their balloon adventure, or getting lost in the tube, each moment was exciting.

Also, the author beautifully describes the majestic landscape of famous landmarks like the Windsor Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and Christ Church. He blends the adventure plot very well while highlighting these sights. The settings described are so rich and vibrant, that I felt like I was in a tour of the United Kingdom. Moreover, after reading this book, I really feel like taking a detailed tour of all the places mentioned.

I loved the Tom’s friendship with Sarah. They have such a wonderful bond, and it is inspiring to see their support for one another. Hainsworth was also a wonderful guide and parental figure for both of them. After reading this book, I am eagerly awaiting Book 2 with high expectations and cannot wait to see how it turns out.

Overall, Britfield & the Lost Crown surpassed my expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
