Go Saddle the Sea was a very adventurous book that kept you on the edge the whole way through. The author told the story in a way that was perfect, you felt like Felix was telling his story directly to you. Set in Spain this book is about Felix Brooke a twelve year old orphan who holds in his possession a letter from his dead father. Determined to seek the truth of his long lost family in England he packs his bags, jumps on a mule and makes his way into the mountains.

However as Felix soon realises, England is a little bit further away from Spain than he thought, and the once clearly marked road, all the way to his destination, becomes a little foggy.

Felix encounters cannibals, priests, lords and duals in his adventure of a lifetime.

However, when Felix gets to his english grandfather he has to make a decision that could get him diving both ways, to stay in gloomy Bath or is England just not for him.

My favourite character was Sam as he sounded funny and I felt really sorry for him when he told the story of his family. I thought this book was one of the best adventure stories I have encountered and a touching yet easy to read book. I would love to read the next in the trilogy and I would recommend it to boys and girls age eight and up for an unpredictable adventure.
