Media Reviews
Fast, furious, and very funny. * Primary Times *
Fast, fabulous fun ... excellent comic adventure. I loved the carefree sheer enthusiasm of the writing and laughed aloud throughout. Can't wait for the next!` * The Children's Bookseller *
The fact that young and old alike can enjoy this novel is testament to Bateman's talent... Tension is mixed in with impeccable comic touches in a novel almost unique in its genre. Never does the reader feel patronised, neither do you feel like you are excluded from the emotional moments. * This is Books *
