Throughout the series, Christopher and his friends must overcome various despicable foes as they battle with riddles, codes, creatures of the night, deathly spectres and secret orders, as they go in search of Christopher's missing brother and father.
Within a tall whispering forest, night-time eyes blink in mesmerized wonder at a magical blue spectacle that dances all about them in the silence. So enchanting is this mysterious woodland, that it bewitches all that dare to cross its path.
But as darkness falls and the creatures stir, something else awakens deep within. For under the watchful eye of an unknown foe, a creeping menace ponders the fate of these dancing lights.
Invited to stay with his grandfather, Charlie, over the spring holidays, Christopher, along with his best mate Jason and new friend Poppy, venture up by train to the beautiful landscapes of Scotland. Here, they must unravel the many secrets weaved amongst sacred symbols and enchanting nocturnal lights that are hidden within this magical forest. For they alone hold the key to solving an ancient entrapment of a lost civilization.
With an unusual mix of science, technology, cosmology, fantasy fiction and a dash of the spiritual self, the Christopher Daring Adventures is a thrilling ride into the impossible.

My review...
What a fantastic book! A story rich is vibrant imagery and detail that delighted and dazzled the eyes and was a joy to read. A labyrinth of mystical puzzles and bursting at the seams of other worldly beings, villains and rogues to add a spot of danger into the mix. Daring by name and daring by nature this story had it all and our young adventurers showed true courage, skill and bravery on their quest.
The plot flew by at lightening speed with twists and bends at the turn of every page and I had to hold onto my hat in order to keep up. As I've previously mentioned the writing is a rich tapestry and the attention to detail is to be applauded and creates a magical and vibrant world right before your eyes which is a true treat for the imagination.
The Forest of Riddles may sit in the children's section in a book shop but it is certainly a cross over piece of work in my eyes. I believe adults, as well as children, will love the wild imaginings that Stephen J Willis brings to the table....I for one am among that group of adults. So if you love action, adventure and unexplained happenings with a side order of science and symbology then this is a story for you. I loved every moment of this book and I'm now off in search of book one.....I mean why read in order when you can read backwards.
About the author...
For years people would ask Stephen to write-up the various adventures and stories that he would so often recount at social events and parties. The more fascinating the people he had encountered, the more bizarre and exciting the stories would be, and so the more enthralled his audiences would become.
So, to please a friend, that made him promise to write-up one of his more fascinating true stories, he began. After requests for more written works, he finally started on his literary journey.
The first few books were shorts and he experimented with them by putting them on a few websites. Both to his surprise and delight, they were read by over fourteen thousand people. And this, in turn, gave him the confidence to step-up his game and begin writing both novels and novelettes in earnest.
