much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist Anita Mangan.
"[Escape the Rooms] is richly imagined and deeply heartfelt, and
Anita Mangan's cartoonish and poignant illustrations capture the
tone perfectly ... It reminded me a little of The Wizard of Oz,
with the children on a quest through different lands to get home."
Hadley Freeman, Guardian "It's been described as a cross between
Alice in Wonderland and The Crystal Maze and it manages to feel
both classic and modern at the same time." Good Housekeeping "A
beautiful and exciting adventure that ignites the imagination"
Edith Bowman "A brilliant, clever, kind of genius book" Graham
Norton, Virgin Radio The last thing Jack expected when he

Cally, in order for them to find their way home. Throw in a
murderous polar bear, hundreds of tiny yet ferocious lions, some
mind-blowing riddles, and get ready for a hilarious, helter-skelter
adventure like no other! Escape the Rooms follows two children
dealing with loss on an amazing adventure. Wildly funny and
endlessly surprising, Escape the Rooms is also a story about
