The Golden Tower

It is told beautifully, and was one that I didn’t want to put down, because I had to find out what happened next. It is a brilliant magical adventure that takes place in a cruel historical period, but manages to encapsulate everything exquisitely, and in a way that isn’t too scary, but has just the right amount of tension that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Another great Belinda Murrell book!

Belinda Murrell’s time-slip adventures have always been thrilling and captivating and this new one does not fail to do the same . . . This beautifully exciting narrative becomes more than just a fantasy-adventure but a delightful excursion into a fascinating, though often cruel, historical period. When I say I had to force myself to stop reading over the past few nights because the story was so completely engrossing, I guess you can safely assume that I give this my highest recommendation for your readers from around 10 years upwards. I know I will have many young readers in my own library who will be leaping for this first-rate magical adventure.

This is an inspirational story of a girl finding her way and realising that she has inner power to face her fears and do what she knows is right.

Reading The Golden Tower reminded me of some of Emily Rodda's best rite of passage fantasy novels. I relished [Belinda's] imagination, wise words and storytelling in The Golden Tower!
