Surprising, perfect and mysterious all at once . . . * The Times *
With his magic realism style, he is becoming the Gabriel Garcia Marquez of children's fiction. * Janni Howker, Times Educational Supplement *
David Almond understands the joy and fear of being alive better than most - Heaven Eyes is a mysterious gift of a novel. * The Times *
Both original and unnerving, this really is a fantastic book. * The Bookseller *
Almond's eerie tale is an astonishing piece of writing about the way that the living and the dead find comfort in each other . . . A very grown-up, totally compelling book, that, like Almond's brilliant Skellig, is about the lost and found, abandonment and redemption, love and faith - particularly faith in yourself and others. * Guardian *
Beautifully written, intensely imagined, dark, ferocious yet suffused with hope, the book is a breathtaking experience. * Carousel *
