an absolutely wonderful book - it is no wonder that McCaughrean is celebrated as one of the greatest living children's authors. * The Bookseller *
...a tense, fast-moving adventure story, sustained to the very last page, with an inspiring sense of community spirit. * Financial Times *
With its great depth and texture, its masterful dialogue and description it is the work of a great writer which will move readers to tears and laughter. I cannot recommend it strongly enough. * Times Educational Supplement *
For a really good read, look no further than this excellent, unpredictable and engrossing novel from a genuine master of the imagination. * The Independent *
