"If The Hunger Games and James Dashner's Maze Runner Series have left you eager for more, The Moon Stealers is the next big Fantasy series…"
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO MANKIND IF AN ALIEN BACTERIA ARRIVED UNEXPECTEDLY ON OUR PLANET?
THE MOON STEALERS PART 1
Meteorites land on Earth every day. Most no bigger than grains of sand. But what if one of them contained a bacteria that was alien to our planet?
The unusual disappearance of a young boy from a graveyard catapults two of his school friends on an adventure beyond their imagination. By unravelling ancient codes and riddles the children journey within the bowels of Edinburgh Castle as they attempt to find the key to their friends' disappearance. But it's a race against time as the very existence of mankind is held in the balance.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
The idea for the Moon Stealers arrived quite unexpectedly one morning when myself and my son were getting ready to go out. He asked me to tell him a story so I randomly said 'have you heard the one about the Moon Stealers?' Only a wild and exciting story would be good enough for my son so during our time in the bathroom we threw loads of ideas at each other and concocted an early form of the story. Later, as I started to write it down so that he could draw some pictures to go with it, I found the ideas grew organically and two years later, the four book series was complete.
The Moon Stealers and The Quest for the Silver Bough Fantasy Dystopian Books for Teenagers eBook Tim Flanagan
Tim Flanagan’s The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough is the first of four books in the Moon Stealers series. This book (and presumably the rest of the series) offers an interesting mix of science fiction and fantasy told through two different story arcs. One centers on Steven Knight, an agent in the Unexplained Foreign Activity Department of Britain’s MI6. Unlike the FBI’s Fox Mulder of X-Files’ fame, he’s has spent most of his career doing paperwork debunking hoaxes – until mysterious meteorites are found in Parsley Bottom. The other thread focuses on a group of middle-school aged children from Parsley Bottom. While investigating the disappearance of a classmate, they meet Edgar, a peculiar older man with a unique connection to the past.Thrilled with the opportunity to get into the field, Steven goes undercover to Parsley Bottom where he deploys the latest technology to probe the connection between the meteorites and a fast growing flesh eating microbe. Simultaneously, the children embark with Edgar on a quest to solve a riddle and reveal the location of the silver bough, which is an ancient key to unlocking the entrance to the fairy world. Mr. Flanagan skillfully switches action between the science and technology of Steven’s world to the fantasy and magic of Edgar’s as the plot twists the two opposing aspects together. He cleverly creates cliff-hangers in each tale just as he deftly drops one thread to re-enter the next.
Mindfully written for tweens there is no foul language or sexual content of any kind. The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough is fast paced and features a lot of action. There are a fair number of deaths with some descriptions that are just detailed enough to elicit an ‘eew’ from most readers, but not quite gruesome enough to bring on nightmares. If it was a movie its mild slime factor would earn a PG rating. With that qualification, I recommend The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough to any tweens (and their parents) interested in a compelling mix of fantasy and science fiction.

The Moon Stealers and The Quest for the Silver Bough Fantasy Dystopian Books for Teenagers eBook Tim Flanagan Reviews
The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough is a lot of fun!
I was interested in getting this book for my kids, however, I am always leery of getting something for them without reading it first.
I loved the mix of modern science fiction with King Arthur/Fae fantasy. This was so much fun that I could not put it down!
It is just creepy enough to entice kids to keep reading, but not gross or scary enough to make them stop. I am going to recommend this to my two older children - both boys - and keep reading the series.
I look forward to reading book 2 soon.
Thanks!
This book has an odd feel to it; it is somewhat like two books entwined into one. One is an old-school rural fantasy adventure in which a handful of kids go on a sort of treasure hunt around the countryside trying to find the item that will unlock the doorway to another realm and help them find a missing kid. I cannot actually recall what part the parental units played in allowing the kids to run off with a strange elderly gent, or even whether they were consulted at all. Also, they were undergoing all this effort to find someone they didn't even really know and who was mostly regarded as an oddball loner. It felt a little non-convincing. Although I suppose you could argue that kids love a good adventure.
The other story is a horror mystery story in which two MI6 operatives investigate ET life in the form of a bacteria that grows at terrifying rates and mutates quickly. It is basically more gruesome horror. Together the two do not quite work, as it is unclear how they intersect.
I had various issues with this tale, although it was readable enough. The most obvious was the writing style, which was amateurish and poorly edited. It has been spell-checked but little else. The narrative is a prime example of "tell" with many sentences containing redundancies such as "Scarlet and Max both nodded together at the same time". Plus the use of bizarre comma use when ? came into speech, random capitalisation and occasionally correctly-spelt but incorrectly-used words (homophones). My favourite was the "...pealing paint..."
Overall, this was not a great book. It was readable, and parts of it were quite enjoyable, if you could set the internal editor aside and just enjoy the journey. My internal editor loved this opportunity and passages of this would prove fine samples for my writing group to practise their editing and showing skills.
