CHILDREN'S AUTHOR
REVIEWS
“This rollercoaster of a quest story is a great next read for middle-grade fantasy lovers who have enjoyed Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Inheritance Cycle.” – The Children's Book Review
“A roaringly fantastic start to a spellbinding new fantasy adventure, brimming with peril and courage, with friendship and self-discovery, that is perfect for readers of 9+.” – Book Craic
“...fascinating fantasy adventure...moves between school life in London and journeys through magical realms, with a lion cub, riddles, and hidden powers driving the story. Highly recommended.” – School Reading List
“The plotline of Lionborn offers magic and magical creatures, great for young fantasy readers.” –LoveReading4Kids
“A heartwarming story of self-discovery.” – Armadillo
“Lionborn is beautifully written; it is guaranteed to grip readers and leave them wanting more.” – Bonkers About Books
“…this fantasy tale delivers fresh magic and emotional depth.” – Kirkus Reviews
“In one night I discovered a book that will stay with me for a long time [...] Fionn is a great character and he is the sort of character parents want their children to look up to. He is brave, loyal and someone you would want on your side. It doesn't matter what the author throws at him, he survived and came out stronger.” – BookBound
“'The author cleverly weaves together the human world and the fantasy world with its enchanted forests, labyrinths and menacing beasts immersing readers in an environment where boundaries are highly permeable. With Fionn emerging as a hero as the book ends, we're left wondering what comes next.” – Red Reading Hub
Sharique Zea was born in the city of Ranchi, Eastern India, into a family of readers who nurtured his love of stories from an early age. His father a headmaster and his mother a college professor, he grew up regularly visiting his local library where his imagination soared from his cosy reading corner into the magical worlds created by C.S. Lewis, Philip Pullman, Madeleine L'Engle, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
