Media Reviews
'Themes of family feuds, peer pressure at school, courage and weakness, in addition to the essential solving of the mystery, make this novel a page-turner. The characters are finely drawn and lifelike, and the contrasts between the enclosed atmosphere of the house on the hill and the outside world enhance the special relationships which are built up.' -- Treasure Island: A guide to Scottish fiction for young readers aged 10-14, Summer 2003
