Media Reviews
... a smashing mix of modern, wry humour and lots of manly fighting ... all grit and grunt and comic line drawing illustrations. The language has a comic-book style narrative which is balanced with delightfully gross descriptions ... accessible to the weaker reader, while there's enough humour and plot to keep better readers interested. There's even a teasing wench to add sex-appeal. If you're looking for a book to catch reluctant young teenage boy readers, this is for them. * The School Librarian *
Offers nail-biting excitement ... Beautiful production and superb integration of illustration and story make this a very attractive book. * Times Educational Supplement *
Thrill-a-minute quests that are fraught with danger. They may be short on words but these great little books are jam-packed with excitement and double-dealing thrills. * Sunday Times *
