Update:  This book is free again.  I originally posted about this in March.  Without exception, everyone who downloaded it really enjoyed it.

Whether or not reviews hold any water, I cannot say, but this one is impressive if you’re a Harry Potter fan:

“The search for a successor to JK Rowling has become a pressing issue… in the running is Catherine Cooper. Her first book, The Golden Acorn, was the winner at the inaugural Brit Writers’ Awards and recounts the exploits of young hero Jack Brenin, as he meets talking ravens and explores mythical landscapes.”
Vanessa Thorpe, The Observer

I would say, however, that this is  a great opportunity to download The Golden Acorn (The Adventures of Jack Brenin)
for free.  It has 87 reviews and 4 out of 5 stars with 95 *likes*.  Most reviewers feel it is suitable for ages 7-11.

Book Description:
When Jack Brenin finds a golden acorn lying in the grass, little does he know that it is the beginning of a thrilling and magical adventure. Just an ordinary boy, Jack has been chosen for a hugely important task, and enters a world he believed only existed in legend. Full of twists and turns, talking ravens and mischievous Spriggans, ‘The Golden Acorn’ is a hugely entertaining and exciting tale from a very talented new author. Your kids will love it, and so will you! This brilliant story deservedly won the Brit Writers’ Awards 2010 for unpublished writers. Jack’s adventures continue in ‘Glasruhen Gate’ and ‘Silver Hill’.
