About the Prosper Redding Series

The Prosper Redding Series by Alexandra Bracken – a wickedly cool dark middle grade fantasy whose threads are woven from family secrets, ancient curses and some wickedly sharp humour… but its also got a story that’s incandescently, mind-bogglingly human – one that touches on the big stuff : choice , loyalty and growing up and all the messy, complicated, beautiful bits that come with that. At the centre of it all is Prosper Redding – a kid who feels like the ultimate ordinary bloke in a family that’s built an empire on their luck and success, and then suddenly his world is turned upside down the minute he discovers the lowdown on his family’s fortune. Way back when this all started, some distant ancestor of his cut a seriously dodgy deal with a demon, and the fallout from that still hasn’t been laid to rest yet. As Prosper gets saddled with the unwanted host role for Prince Alastor – a demon who’s got a right old chip on his shoulder, and a seriously storied past when it comes to being betrayed – the whole story starts to build towards something way bigger than just some run-of-the-mill curse. Over the two books, the reader gets to move from the real world right on into a lush, vibrant demon realm where power is shifting about, all the old rules are being rewritten and you have to make some tough calls if you want to survive. What realy makes the Prosper Redding books stand out is the relationships – the deep-down emotional tension that ratchets up between Prosper and Alastor, who are basically stuck relying on each other even though trust just isn’t something that comes easily to either of them. The series pulls in some big themes : what makes up who you are, what it means to make sacrifices and whether we’re forever stuck with the mistakes our parents made before us . Its a wild ride with fast-paced action, clever one-liners and a real sense of atmosphere that draws you in – and at the end of the day, its a complete story that’s both massive and tiny at the same time, which makes it a read that lingers long after you’ve turned that final page. Perfect for anyone who loves dark fantasy but wants a story that’s got a heart , the Prosper Redding series is one heck of a memorable journey.
