Trade Review
A must-read . . . I know now that they mean by a plot that is toe-curlingly good. * John Lloyd, BookBag *
The best way to explain this book really, would be to say just "wow", because it was that good. I would definitely give it five out of five * By kids for kids review, The Guardian *
