Why it works
Amanda turns thirteen, inherits a mansion and discovers that her family has spent generations doing something rather unusual. It has the pace of an action film, chapters that end on a cliffhanger and a heroine who trains and gets things wrong. For a child who already reads alone and wants something meatier than primary school books.
Our verdict
A safe bet with readers aged nine to twelve who want action. For one who reads grudgingly, start with Diario de Greg.
