Felix and the Future Agency is the fabulous new middle grade fantasy novel by Rachel Morrisroe. Filled with danger, action and magical creatures it is a must read for fans of the Percy Jackson series.
Rachel has used real, ancient rumours, in and around London and the subway, and expands on them using imaginary outcomes to create a world where good triumphs over evil.
Felix feels lost and dejected until he is invited to join a new school for children just like him. The Future Agency: an underground secret society set up to save the world from disasters that are predicted by the society members.
Rachel Morrisroe's exceptional world building is easy to follow and understand. All the different classes of magic and what they do is clearly explained. I loved the addition of bonded pets, celestaurs, made from the stars.
Each scene is meticulously described giving the reader a vivid image as each scene unfolds. There are also a few half page black and white sketches by Paddy Donnelly for those, like me, that appreciate an added visual prompt.
The story can be a little dark at times but there is plenty of humour throughout to lighten the overall feel. Friendship problems to resolve and a few road bumps for Felix to navigate keep the story relatable and interesting.
Felix and the Future Agency is an electrifying and atmospheric introduction to a fantastical new hero.
Felix and the Future Agency is the perfect read for children who love fantasy and adventure stories.
I'm eager for the next instalment!
