‘The amazing plot is made credible and totally gripping by strong characterization and realistic themes, which are developed by superb writing. A definite must for any confident young reader… A brilliant book. Each chapter ends on a, not to be ignored, cliff-hanger, so allow time to read in one sitting.’ Gill Roberts, Carousel
‘Fast-moving, with a great sense of the natural world as well as hints at supernatural beings – good and bad – this is a thoroughly satisfying tale of young people saving the day.’ Andrea Reece, Lovereading4kids
‘It’s a good book with lots of descriptions and short chapters. I would recommend this to my friends.’ Toppsta
‘From the outset of this pacy novel, startling reality and flights of fancy are neatly bound together… It is the winning combination of vivid language and humour, both in dramatic moments and the characters’ interactions, which will keep young readers engaged here.’ Extract from a review by Helen Perdikis from www.gwales.com, with the permission of the Welsh Books Council
