Amazing!
Although I’m not one for fantasy novels Lynette Noni’s account they got me hooked from the first page! She writes in a simple manner so it’s easy to understand as we travel through a carne alongside Alexandra Jennings the main character. Her series of novels the Medoran Chronicles have got me hooked and I have never loved a fantasy series as much as I love hers! For any young adults or teens looking for a great fantasy series to read over the holidays this is the book for you!

If Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia had a child who then joined the X-Men, it'd be Akarnae for sure! This book is the enchanting beginning to what becomes a fantastic and emotionally charged series. Action-packed and with a loveable cast to boot, this series is great for those wanting to venture into YA Fantasy. - Kristy (QBD)

Marketed as "Harry Potter" cross Narnia, "The Medoran Chronicles" is a fantasy series by an Australian author that reads somewhat like a contemporary (to me, at least). Featuring a strong focus on friendship, great characters, a sentient library, a boarding school for the gifted in a parallel world, adventure and magic, "Akarnae" is a definite favourite of mine. "Raelia", the second instalment, also features fae and a hint of romance while "Draekora" features dragons. - Melissa (QBD)

16 year old Alexandra Jennings is having a weird day. One moment, she's at her new school, her fellow students having just made it clear that they're horrible people. Then she steps through a doorway... into a completely different world. Medora is unlike anything Alex has ever seen before – people can disappear, charm you with their words, walk through walls – and most unbelievable of all, Alex is told that she has one of these gifts, just waiting to be unlocked. Guided by her new friends – the charming Bear and the irrepressible Jordan – Alex arrives at the prestigious Akarnae Academy, and embarks on an unforgettable journey towards discovering what her gift could be, and why she was the first stranger to be able to travel to Medora in a very long time. Akarnae is a fun, adventurous teen fantasy written by Australian author Lynette Noni. It's filled with subtle nods to classic kids fantasy novels like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia, while at the same time being refreshingly original. Fans of Harry, Ron, and Hermione will find themselves making fast friends with Alex, Bear, and Jordan as they explore the magic and mystery on offer at Akarnae Academy. - Sarah (QBD)

Amazing read
OH MY GOSH!!! THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!! The only way I can think to describe it is like Harry Potter and Narnia had a child. Akarnae is a wonderful story, by the VERY talented and lovely Lynette Noni, set in the magical land of Medora (which I totally want to go to now) where anything and everthing can happen. I love the banter and easy relationships between the main characters Alex, Jordan, Bear and DC. Akarnae blew my mind and made me laugh, hold my breath and just want to keep reading. Everyone, take my advice: embrace the wonder and READ THIS BOOK!!! - Steph
