Review: A must read!!! If they made a movie out of this, it would probably outsell Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and you simply can NOT put it down. If you like books with mystery, action, comedy, horror, drama, romance or ANYTHING of everything all three of the Wyrd Museum books deliver and keep you wanting more!!!

Review: I enjoyed this book and thought it was well written. I think it was too graphic for most of my children (13, 11, 9, 7). It seems to be written for too mixed an audience. The hero is an eleven year old boy and a teddy bear, but the story revolves around adults and an adult situation. Definitely for older kids.

Review: ok...this was a wonderfully-written book, great descriptions, everything. I'm 13 now, but when I read the series I was 11-12. it was scary, but it's not like a 9 y/o wouldn't be able to take it with a strong stomach.Really, it's not that gruesome. And i have to admit at the end...i found myself crying. that's how good Robin Jarvis is. Never in my life have I cried during a book, and admitted it. so....if u're into great books that just happen to have that "the shining" vibe going off.....read this book. who care how old u r. most ppl under 8 have seen movies like "silence of the lambs" and "scream (1,2,3)", so it doesn't matter. not that i'm comparing this to those. it's a book. a piece of literature used for entertainment. it can't be that bad (it wasn't), so like i said, the greatness of the book obscures the horror (if any). just don't read the third one in the series. it freaked me out and was too violent.even tho it was good. heehee ^.^

Review: Robin Jarvis' Wyrd Museum Trilogy is a fantastic blend of Fantasy and Horror with interesting characters and a great story line.
Jarvis starts his trilogy with the slightly more easy going, "The Woven Path" which is an exiting journey into the the past life of an old teddy bear. Neil Chapmann and his family move into the Wyrd Museam as his father takes a job as a caretaker. While exploring Neil comes across a room filled with mysterious treasures and meets Ted, the reincarnation of a world war two American pilot. The two of them are sent back in time by Ursula Webster one of the three sisters who own the museum. They end up in London during world war two. Unfortunatly an ancient power has been unleashed on the city and Neil and Ted only have a little time to finish their quest before the demon finds them.
This is a great book although it may be frightening for smaller children.

Review: This story sends chills trough you, but I`m not completely shure how much little kids enjoy it, because there is quite a bit of describing and I`ve found out that the youngsters don`t really find that amusing - it bores them if it seems too long. Shure they can identify with Niel (a boy sent back to war-time London) and the Teddy, but him actually beeing a grown man must confuse them. I enjoyed it nevertheless - the Webster sisters anre creepy without any other stuff happening, and the father is so adorably helpless. The Story itself is well writen too and will probably not dissapoint you. Try it.

Summary: the woven path
Review: This was the first time that I had read a Robin Jarvis book. From the moment that I picked the book up I was captivated by it and I could not bear to put it down. The struggle of the Ned, (sent to find Edie Dorkins in the time of the blitz) with his new friend, Ted, (who had been trapped inside a teddy for years) was heart warming. I have now followed the plight of the Webster sisters, Edie and Ned right through to the end of the third book and I enjoyed all three books thoroughly. I am now searching libraries and book shops for other Robin Jarvis titles. Read this book and you will be as captivated as I was. The Wyrd Museum never has a dull moment.
