Today it is my turn on the blog tour for The New Land by Daisy Bourne
Book Review 
The New Land by Daisy Bourne
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily
What happened to Arthur, King of the Britons, after he was allegedly killed on the battlefield? Legend has it that Merlin, the mighty sorcerer, put the king's body in a boat and set it sail for a mysterious place called Avalon. However, many Britons refused to accept that Arthur was really dead: instead believing that Merlin had taken the king to a place of safety. There have been many theories as to the whereabouts of Avalon, but none proved to be accurate.
This is a nice little introduction to the Tales of Avalon series. I think this would be a good series to get young children interested in reading - it had a lot of appealing mythical creatures as well as some well known characters and even comes complete with some lovely illustrations.
Obviously I am not the target audience for this book and I finished it in under an hour but I could definitely see the way that it will appeal.
Rating: 4/5
