Description
Book SynopsisTom Hoyle is the headmaster of a North London boys' school.
Thirteen is his first book, and he followed this with the equally exciting
Spiders. He says 'I wanted every chapter to be dramatic and engaging, the literary equivalent of a modern action film, something that even the most reluctant readers in my English class would want to pick up.'
Trade ReviewFast-paced and brimming with action, menace and suspense,
Thirteen is a truly gripping and gritty thriller. * Lancashire Evening Post *
I found myself gripped and not able to put it down until I knew what happened. The author has a sequel planned and I will be looking out for it. * jilllovestoread.blogspot.co.uk *
If you know any young to mid teens with a penchant for thrillers and tense action stories, this is definitely the story for them. * ermergerdwerds.wordpress.com *
I would recommend this book at the younger teen but anything that can get young males reading is worthy of acclaim and I think this book will certainly do that. * boyletstalkaboutbooks281.blogspot.co.uk *
It is definitely something I would recommend for a younger, male reader who enjoys books such as
The Recruit by Robert Muchamore. * arabooklover.blogspot.co.uk *
Thirteen is a rattling good read and I suspect there will be plenty of adults, like me, who will be very happy to add this to their reading piles. * crimereview.co.uk *
A great read for everyone but it will join my list of reads for boy, particularly those finding reading an effort aged 12-16. * The School Librarian *
Thirteen is an explosive read that is very readable. It's dangerous, disturbing and always exciting. * fictionfascination.blogspot.co.uk *
