Trade Review
A compelling dystopian adventure tackling bravery, friendship and freedom against the harsh backdrop of a world without water. * Children's Previews: January, The Bookseller *
Novels that tap into anxiety about the future of the planet need something extra to stand out and Richard Masson's excellent debut, Boonie, has a harrowing opening with echoes of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. In a world where water is more precious than gold, knowing how to find it is an affliction as much as a gift. -- Geraldine Brennan * The Observer *
