Blog Tour - The Curse of Ragman's Hollowby
Blog Tour
But Sam's mother has holiday plans and drags him off to a remote cottage in the middle of nowhere for some country air. No mobile phone, nettle soup and long walks are the rule. One such walk takes them to Ragman's Hollow, a place the locals avoid with good reason.
It's a place where people and animals go missing, never to be found.
That's just superstitious nonsense, according to Sam's mother. But there is no smoke without fire and Sam soon finds himself up against an old, very spiteful, and very tricky enemy.
He's going to need every ounce of his cunning to stop the Ragman. But can he do it alone?

My Review
4☆ A Fun, Enthralling Adventure, not to be missed!
The Curse of Ragman's Hollowby is the third book in the Merryweathers Mysteries series, but my first book.
I do think you can read this as a standalone but I wish I had read the other books as i feel I missed out on getting to know these fabulous characters.
As soon as i read the blurb for this one I was really excited. Especially as it involved Grandmother teaching her grandson how to use his powers, it's always heart warming to see.
You see Sam is very special, he belongs to a magical group called The Cunning.
His Grandmother Gwladys is educating and teaching Sam how to use his special powers.
But just as Sam starts to learn all about his powers, his Mum plans a holiday to Ragmans Hollow. Putting his training on hold.
Gwladys is apprehensive about Sam and his Mum visiting Ragmans Hollow.
After all its not safe, people have disappeared never to be seen again?... Or is that just a made up tale?
What happens when Sam and his Friends decide to set out on an adventure to see for themselves? Can Sam call upon his powers or will it be too late?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this magical adventure. I loved the relationship between Sam and his Grandmother, I wanted more!
The chapters are nice and short perfect to keep the target readers attention.
The Characters are very well written and I was excited to be going on an adventure with Sam. He is definitely a likeable and relatable character.
The Curse of Ragman's Hollowby is the perfect book to introduce children to fantasy and mystery.
It's not too long in length, the characters are fun and relatable, there is an evil/spooky/creepy character that children will love. There's a good dash of Magic, Mystery, Danger, Friendship, drama and Adventure.
So if you are looking for something a lil different for your child, bedtime read, group read or maybe just for yourself after all i loved it... then I highly recommend giving this series a read!
I'm looking forward to the next big Adventure!

Author Bio
Rhys A Jones was born in 1955 and grew up in a mining village in South Wales with his nose in a book and his head in the clouds. He managed to subdue his imagination long enough to carve out a career in medicine, writing whenever the chance arose.
The Merryweathers mysteries feature a boy and his more-than-meets-the-eye Granny Merryweather. The Curse of Wihtlea Barrows (previously the Dreables) and The Curse of Borage Doone have just been released as paperbacks with new covers and a new publisher (Wyrmwood). The third in the series entitled The Curse of Ragman's Hollow is now available at last
Rhys is currently writing The Artefact Quintet featuring eleven-year-old Oz Chambers whose family inherits a ‘haunted’ house. His mother wants to leave, but Oz wants to unlock the house’s mysteries and uncovers a secret that will change his life forever.
Rhys also writes for adults as DC Farmer and Dylan Young
He has three grownup children who have emerged remarkably unscathed into adulthood. When not writing, he practices medicine and lives in darkest West Wales with his understanding (very) wife and dog.
Oh, and the Rhys is pronounced Reece–as in the actor Rhys Ifans of Mr Lovegood (Harry Potter) and The Lizard (The Amazing Spiderman) fame. Or perhaps it’s easier if you just think of Reece Witherspoon, though she is a lady.
FROM WIKI:
Rhys /ΛriΛs/[1] is
a Welsh given name (usually male), famous in Welsh history
a surname of Welsh origin that means “Dragon“, “fervour”, “passion”, “ultimate strength”, “king” or “zeal”
