Frankie has more problems than most teenage girls: Her brother's in a coma; her father has deserted them. School friends can't possibly understand, so she shuns their attempts to sympathise and becomes a loner.
Then one evening, while walking her brother's dog over the village common, she accidentally summons a griffin - and its rider - from another dimension.
Frankie's problems are only just beginning.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Julia's bio in her own words: "I'm an eldest child and walking my younger brother and sister to school and back, I'd tell them stories – a captive audience! On leaving college, I worked at the BBC, helping write stories for their "Schools' Programmes". That was back in the day, before satellite telly made it over to the UK and 'Auntie Beeb' ruled the air waves! I gave it all up for the good life, and moved down to Cornwall, one of the most beautiful counties in England, and often known as 'God's own country.' I think the greatest compliment I received was 'Julia's more Cornish than the Cornish.' I picked daffodils in winter and made pasties for the holidaymakers in the summer. But all good things come to an end: I upped sticks to be closer to my family, and landed in a little village just outside London, and have been here ever since, scribbling away at my stories. " I don't specifically write in any one genre, an idea will flitter into my mind, and the story develops. My first three titles, "A Raucous Time", "A Ripple in Time" and "An Explosive Time" are action adventures, while "The Bridle Path" is romance. I think I'd overdosed on the testosterone flying around in the previous three books and wanted something a little more feminine and romantic. My latest title "The Griffin Cryer" is an adventure/fantasy. What makes this genre special is the opportunity to really allow imagination to take flight, and even create whole new worlds for readers to explore. Julia's website: Julia Hughes.co.uk.

Let me first start off by saying how Ms. Julia Hughes simply charmed me with this story and pulled me in from the beginning. If you’re a lover of fantasy (and especially YA fantasy), you must pick this one up!

Our protagonist, Francesca (aka Frankie), is a smack-talking, laid back, red-haired beauty who finds herself in an interesting predicament when she calls out for her dog Bally only to have a real life griffin answer. I thought the griffin “Balkind” was interesting not only because griffins are cool, but also because he is so well-described, with his own quirks and personality traits, that he’s not just a prop in the story but a character in his own right.

When Balkind heeds Frankie’s call, the griffin doesn’t come alone. He’s accompanied by a mysterious Rider who’s lost his way and needs to return to his own world. I enjoyed how the Rider has relatable setbacks and flaws which add more layers to him. Sometimes I did find myself wanting to find out more about him and the Ella-Earth that he comes from, but I’m sure Ms. Hughes is saving that for the next book!

As a reader you immediately sympathize with Frankie, especially when you see her daily struggles of wanting to find a place to belong (as most teenagers do), the terrible bully who gives her grief, and her relationship with her brother (Michael). I felt like the mom was a bit off to the side, though what I did note about her was her amazing dedication to her kids. I LOVED Tony (step dad) who really stepped forward and defended Frankie when needed.

The villains of the story played their roles well, and several of them I just wanted to punch. I could see how some people would want to manipulate or use knowledge of griffins (or the parallel earth known a “Ella-Earth”), so it was interesting to see their motivations to play out and how Frankie, Rider and the griffin fought against them.

I won’t say how the story ends (don’t want to spoil you), but it looks like we’re in for a sequel and I WILL be reading the next installment :-)

I picked up this book and was delighted when I went through it. The book is not very long but the chapters are full of intense emotion and interactions between the characters. This book is probably suited towards young adults and teenages the most. Lots of heated dialogue excitement!

If you like fantasy books then this one might be for you! Hopefully this author decides to put out a 2nd book in the series. I highly recommend you pick this one up, I very much enjoyed it.

Francesca is 15 years old and prefers to be called Frankie. Ever since her brother had a freak accident that has left him in a coma for the last couple of years she has felt like an outsider amongst her peers. Her only true friend being her brother Michael's dog Bally. Frankie worries constantly about her mother and has a good, but tentative relationship of sorts with her stepfather. Just when Frankie's life couldn't get any stranger, whilst out walking Bally she 'accidently' summons a Griffin from another world. And, for good measure, his Rider comes along too!

The Rider is a quiet and mysterious young man who Frankie finds infuriating. But, she agrees to help him and Balkind, his griffin, get back to their own world. However, the secret of the Griffin is not Frankie's alone and she soon discovers that there are other, more dubious characters who have a vested interest in acquiring a griffin. They are prepared to use Frankie's family's desperation to have Michael come back to them from his own other world as a bargaining tool. Will Frankie and The Rider be successful in their quest or will darker forces stop them achieving their goal. For Frankie, a lot rests on her ability to be The Griffin Cryer and summon Balkind and save her brother in the process!

The Griffin Cryer is a Young Adult book and not my usual genre. However, once I started reading it I could not put it down! I was totally hooked! I was instantly transported back to my early teen years when this was just the sort of book that I adored. The excitement and sense of adventure are palpable and to be honest, I felt like I used to when I was a teen with my nose constantly stuck in a book that held a world of fantasy, full of magical creatures and dark and brooding strangers. I loved it!

Julia Hughes has created a wonderful host of characters, right down to the villainous Professor! The book also, in a subtle yet effective way, explores the complexities of loneliness, family relationships, and grief for a life hanging in a state of limbo. I loved how gutsy Frankie was and her fearless loyalty to her family. This is a story that just holds the promise of further adventures for Frankie! This is the first book I have read by Julia Hughes and I look forward to reading more by this very talented author.

4,0 su 5 stelle The Griffin Cryer - My Review
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 marzo 2013

It is amazing how an ordinary act can have extraordinary consequences. This is what happened to Frankie Shaunessy when she tried to call her dog home. Instead, she summons a griffin from another world, complete with his Rider - wearing fancy dress!

Frankie is determined to help Balkind, the griffin, and his rider return to their own world. Her efforts, set against the backdrop of a young woman trying to balance school, friends, teenage angst, and a tragic family situation, make for a compelling and entertaining story.

I loved the character development in this novel. Balkind is not your usual griffin. He is sweet and loves attention. His rider is rude and demanding. Frankie’s parents are solid parental types, but have their own issues. Frankie, as with most young people, is complex and finds that friends aren’t always friends and enemies aren’t always enemies. Romance isn’t always like the movies, and relationships within the family can be difficult. But, in the end, love and friendship always win!

The story itself grabbed me from the start (who doesn’t love supernatural things happening in a graveyard) and kept its hold on me until the end. It follows Frankie’s life from finding Balkind and his rider, through a romance with her dream guy, and back to helping Balkind and the rider get back home. I did get a little confused toward the end when Frankie has to help her brother, but the story sorted itself out.

I think this book is suitable for all ages and all genres. It has some romance, teen issues, paranormal elements, suspense, and fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this book to be added to your to-be-read pile!

My rating 4.5 Stars!! (I wish Amazon allowed half-stars).
