The Carmody Casebooks The Casebooks of Captain Holloway Characters ☆ 2 'A cracker Utterly convincing' Philip Pullman The Disappearance of Tom Pile When bright lights are spotted above a tiny village in Dorset the locals suspect German bombers Jack Carmody believes otherwise He is part of a secret government department set up to explore I nearly gave up on this novel which is a very rare thing for me indeed It was too slow for too long I can t recall exactly when I started to get interested but I think is was around one third or of the way in The general Australian YA reader will not persevere through the slow start and the unfamiliar time and place it is set World War two England and so it will be a hard one to recommend The premise is interesting enough returned children who have been abducted by aliens many years previously and the teams that hunt for these mysterious happening Once the action picks up it is uite an entertaining read The main protagonistnarrator Jack Carmody has some special abilities and is recruited to the department that investigates anything supernatural Although the story starts off with his abilities being central it doesn t really follow through its focus lies almost entirely on the abilities of the returnees I found that a short coming It is two books in one and it is disconcerting when half way through it swaps to the second returnee s story and gives repeated information from the first half of the novel
