Darkmouth is a story about family, about destiny, about finding your courage and bounding out of your comfort zone to help the people you love. Like so many timeless classics, it's about an ordinary boy in an extraordinary situation. It reminds me of the excitement I used to feel when reading Darren Shan and Eoin Colfer as a young teenager. The concept is brilliant, the plot is fresh and fast-paced, and most importantly, the humour is on point. I had the biggest grin on my face when I was reading this, and it's thanks to Hegarty's fantastic narrative skill as well as his endearing portrayal of an authentic (and at times, very amusing) father-son relationship.
