Moon Chase by Cathy Farr
Wrongly accused of a crime that he didn't commit, teenager Wil Calloway is sentenced to join the Moon Chase to try to prove his innocence. On the face of it, this sounds easy enough, especially with the help of the huge Fellhounds of Thesk, but as Wil learns more from the mysterious Lady Aelanor and her telepathic sister, Tally, he soon realises that proving his innocence is the least of his challenges - staying alive is another! I really enjoyed Moon Chase. In fact, I found it pretty much unputdownable. I cared about Wil; I wanted to know what happened next; you sustain a sense of both tension and wonder all the way through. Most importantly, perhaps, I want to read the next one!A" Toby Faber, author and former Managing Director of Faber & Faber
