Praise for Jimmy Coates: Revenge
Boys love this stuff, and so do girls. Jimmy is a pint-sized verision of Robocop or Terminator... Like Anthony Horowitz's splendid fantasies, [these novels] tap into almost everything a bolshy boy wants and feels. Immensely clever, immediately engaging, they will prepare a child for Orwell and Huxley. Amanda Craig, The Times
Fast-paced and intelligently written. The Bookseller
the sort of book to wow reluctant boy readers away from computer games and into the pages of a book. Books for Keeps
Joe Craig has produced another thrilling page-turner. Jewish Chronicle
A rollicking good spy romp. School House magazine.
And for Jimmy Coates: Target
With cinematic skill, Craig unrolls a series of action-packed scenes, with a new crisis at every turn of the page. It's gripping, but not mindless Angela Kilverstein
Praise for Jimmy Coates: Killer
...a totally excellent adventure - a lit bit Bond, a lit bit Matrix and a lot of what you've never read before. Someone make this into a movie! Flipside
A gripping action-thriller that's packed with twists. Funday Times
[Joe Craig] has developed the sharp satirical edge that keeps the new generation of boys hooked on books. Which is, in itself, the act of a superhero. Amanda Craig, The Times
The perfect primer to the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum. VOYA
...By turns excitingly action-packed, believably sensible and character driven, and then refreshingly paranoid, this is a book I'd be happy to recommend to the kid in everyone. Vector
