The Ten Riddles of Eartha Quicksmith by Loris Owen

It’s often so personal and so short-lived that it’s hard to describe what you’re seeing – like being in some sort of trance or dream. Everyone seems to have a different experience.

I’ve always been interested in the coloured patterns you get when you close your eyes. Now it’s time to hear from author, Loris Owen, about the strange squirls which Kip sees and doodles endlessly. It’s mind-expanding inventiveness will take readers to a new dimension! Ten Riddles is an action-packed twisty, turny adventure which highlights the importance of teamwork, perseverance and thinking outside of the box. It was fascinating to consider that there might be alternate energies (and universes) around us which are as yet undiscovered. What a fantastic read! I loved the whole concept of new energies being the next big scientific revolution. He and his new friends have to band together and use their collective wits to solve the ten riddles set and alter the course of the future.

Kip quickly finds himself at the heart of a treasure hunt set 400 years earlier by the college founder, Eartha Quicksmith. People who are particularly sensitive to the ‘strange energies’ all around us and are excellent at solving puzzles. Luckily, Kip is excellent at thinking logically and problem-solving.Īfter following a trail of equally head-scratching clues, Kip finds himself at Quicksmiths College of Strange Energy – a place full of people like him. What it’s delivering, is an envelope containing a rather cryptic clue. So he is surprised and slightly suspicious when he’s approached by a drone whilst hiding out in his favourite tree.
