Media Reviews
A Dog for Life: 'Children of eight to 11 will love it. And so did I.' -- Telegraph 20060416 'A story which will keep the reader involved until its satisfyingly happy ending.' -- Books for Keeps 20060501 Fish: 'An allegory grounded in remarkably tactile storytelling ... Matthews allows just enough detail -- and heart -- to make miracles feel possible.' -- Publishers Weekly 20060501 'Stunning debut novel' -- The Glasgow Herald 20060501 The Outcasts: 'this absorbing adventure story ... would provoke much useful discussion among KS3 students, both in the classroom and within a smaller book-group context.' -- School Librarian 20050301
