Reviews for The Whispering Wars

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This companion to The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone is a story about orphans, athletics and friendship. In Spindrift, there’s a rivalry between the children from the orphanage and those from the Brathelthwaite Boarding School. But their town becomes the frontlines of the Whispering Wars; children disappear, people are struck down by a strange flu, witches attack and townsfolk mistrust their neighbours. Finlay, Honey Bee and their friends have to set their private war aside and work together.I spent the first half of the book thinking I would enjoy it so much more if I were twelve years old, or at least if I remembered The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures in greater detail. It doesn’t help that the illustrations are not to my taste.But I warmed to the characters more as they warmed to each other, and Moriarty has a satisfying way of making minor details turn out to be unexpectedly important. Also, there are dragons. I was glad I’d made the effort.
