Paradox Child Book One edition by J Yates Julia Collins Chris Keppie Mike Peckett Children eBooks

I wish this book had been around when I was a kid; I would've loved it so much! The world is richly imagined with beautiful world-building so that it feels lush and fully realized. There's a small romance, but that aspect is kept very light due to the character's age and I think that works well for the book. I love that the author focuses on Lilly's relationships with her mother, grandmother and friends instead of trying to build an all-consuming romance like so many young adult books do, because it was so much more true to life for a girl of that age. I especially appreciate that Lilly had girlfriends her own age and formed meaningful friendships!

The only minor complaint I have is that Lilly's emotional reactions are not always explored, but I can understand if that is deliberate on the part of the author in order to facilitate discussion between the book's young readers and their parents. I could certainly understand how a parent reading this book with a younger child would want to stop the book and talk out the emotional points in the book, so I can definitely see why the author would choose to downplay Lilly's emotional reactions.

I loved that the book ended on a hopeful note, and I hope that the mysteries brought up in this book will be answered in the next two books. The unanswered questions will definitely have you grabbing the second book right away! I feel kinda bad that I got this book for free because I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next books in the series!

*Also, how inspiring is it that the author is dyslexic!? I'm gobsmacked! Well done, J. Yates!!

Paradox Child Book One edition by J Yates Julia Collins Chris Keppie Mike Peckett Children eBooks Reviews

This book is an easy read.... I wish more effort was made on developing the plot rather than narrating the scenes/landscape...although that in itself was not too bad...but the story is a good story..it would have been great if more body was added to the plot. For instance the ending, that strange character who constantly lerked around Lily's home was added to the story about mid way through the book, and even though he turned into a crow at the end of the book we are still not told who he is or why he attacked Lily...nor do we know who is the fox that saved her. It was too much for the sake of simply introducing the second book.
Paradox Child is a book about magic and mystery. While Lilly's Mom is practicing magic, especially for protection of her family and friends, Lilly is trying to lead a normal life. But her life is anything but normal. Her father isn't around, but why? The answer to that question involves time travel. Another mystery centers around the disappearance of some of Lilly's school friends. Something sinister may be involved here. After reading this first book in the series, I'm left with a lot of questions. I guess if I want them answered I'll have to continue on with book two.
This is an amazing story about time travel, witchcraft, magic, shape shifting, archeology, history and so much more. Filled with delightful characters right down to the two spaniels and the mysterious fox. A family of magical women all named for flowers is in itself quite charming, and the characters are wonderfully developed.The magic at work in this book is layered and though there are more than enough questions and unsolved puzzles for the next book, I loved the brilliant way the different events and pieces of information fall together at the conclusion. There are still mysteries left to explore in the next book for sure, but I found the ending satisfactory in every way without the cliche cliff hangers so often found in book serials. The book could use an extra bit of polish, I think I read another reference to this by another reviewer. This is the only mark I would hold against what is in every other way a most enjoyable book. Certain worth overlooking a few stumbles grammatically. I most certainly will read the subsequent books in this series. I love the historical references and picturesque settings. Splendid!
Paradox Child by J Yates ("re-edited version by the marvellous Mr Chris Keppie") is the first of three books. I really can't call it a series, more like installments of one book. Paradox Child ends abruptly and without conclusion, making me wonder just what happened to the storyline. There isn't even a "to be continued." I felt really dissatisfied until I picked up the second book which started just after the last incident in the first book. This second book has no backfill; it is just a continuation of the story. I had a feeling the work was too long for a YA book, and the author merely divided the long tale into three sections. With that in mind, the three-book story is filled with mystery, time travel, science, interesting characters, romance, friendships, spells, and even a recipe for Maharaja cake.

The printed version has large margins around the edges, which is curious. In book three, I found out why. The space is for the reader to add notes and make drawings. Without this white space, the book would be a third of its size. If you like to puzzle out the plot with notes and drawings, purchase the printed version.

The story is about Lily and her family of time-travelers. The steam-operated time machine is in a hidden basement of the Pitt River Museum in Oxford (real place). A secret passageway provides access to the time machine, which only works with magic. For four generations, the women in Lily's family have traveled back in time, but at what expense? What are the repercussions?

The first book Paradox Child introduces Lily, her mom Rose, and grandmother Isis. All the women in this family are named after flowers. Each woman is magical and it is interesting to see them cast spells. Lily is taught to keep her knowledge of magic secret. Then she founds out that the family has a bigger secret—they are time travelers, and her mum is stuck in time. Lily must rescue her. In addition to time travel, children are disappearing, a strangely dressed man stalks Lily, and Lily is introduced to the Grandfather Paradox concept. Lots of strange happenings!

In book one, Lily's character is the most developed, but lacks emotional depth. She just doesn't seem to react like a thirteen-year-old. The mom's character is also flat and appears to be there just to make countless cups of tea and give insights into time travel and magic.There also seems to be a lot of holes in the plot which never get explained (until book three). Apart from that, and the countless spelling and grammatical errors, the story is entertaining and I recommend it for young adults who enjoy reading fantasy, and only if they plan to read all three of the books.
I wish this book had been around when I was a kid; I would've loved it so much! The world is richly imagined with beautiful world-building so that it feels lush and fully realized.
