Book overview

A preteen boy raised on Earth. An arch enemy waiting for revenge. A dying home world only he can save.
George Shilling longs to have a normal life. Struggling to adjust to his father's new marriage, the clever middle schooler tries to focus on keeping his grades up and forget his strange dreams that feel like a warning. But when he passes the Old Curiosity Shop, he discovers an oddly familiar globe and mirror that suddenly transport him to another world.

Shocked to learn he has special powers George must now control them if he is to succeed in saving his home world from dying. But first the brave eleven-year-old must defeat a tyrant ruler determined to end the world for his own gains.

With new found abilities, can George survive a final confrontation and restore peace?

Deadworld is the gripping first book in The Child Guardian middle-grade fantasy series. If you like unassuming heroes who never give up, detailed world-building, and good vs evil, then you’ll love Jerzy Jones’ action-packed children’s novel.

      Deadworld is an amazing book with a variety of characters, like George and Arianwen. George just being a middle schooler and trying to adjust to their dad and possible new marriage and forget about his weird dreams it is quite different to most books and I like that about Deadworld. Arianwen is my favourite character. Although a great book a bit too slow paced for me though the unexpected fading of Ocean world on the globe was an amazing way to reveal the next book in the series. This book is amazing for 7 + and good for slow readers because they will be able to stay on track with the book. Overall I give Deadworld by Jerzy Jones 4.5 star rating out of 5. By CC age 11

      I read Deadworld in 3 days because I couldn’t put it down, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, When I first started reading it I thought it was an easy read for children but the more I read the more I found it fascinating. I can’t wait for the next book to come out I hope it won’t be to long. I’ve read all the Harry Potter books and I think this is on the same level.

      I don,t read many books but this book gripped me from the start and I could’ve put it down. The friendship and intrigue between the child characters and the elders really came through in the story. The world building drew me in to visualise how it could be. Great start to the series. Will look out for the next book to come through.
