On Earth, the Wisdom family has always striven to be more normal than normal. But Simon Wisdom, the youngest child, is far from normal: he can see the souls of the dead. And now the ghosts of children are begging him to help them, as they face something worse than death. The only problem is, he doesn't know how.

In a far-away land of magic and legends, Matyas has dragged himself up from the gutter and inveigled his way into the Wizards' college. In time, he will become more powerful than all of them - but will his quest blind him to the needs of others? For Matyas can also hear the children crying.

But neither can save the children alone, for the child eater is preying on two worlds . . .

Reviews for Child Eater

The Child Eater is written in broad, bold strokes ... It's a dark, disturbing book; it's also full of light and wonder NPR 'A bold new step for Pollack ... a multi-layered tale of growing up and self-discovery that also happens to have a horrific supernatural terror as its central focus' Starburst. Starburst 'One of this year's Do Not Miss books. Five stars, and it earns every one of them' Over the Effing Rainbow. Over the Effing Rainbow
