Media Reviews
I could not put this book down. Rhiannon James, 14, Devonport High School for Girls. Feedback; Edge-of-the-seat pacing makes this a gripping adventure, outstanding. It is much more than just a thriller, as the denouement reveals. It's a coming-of-age story of sorts and a tribute to the spirit of individuality. It's also a great read! Horn Book Review Tag; A tense, tight thriller, with a chilling climax. Books for Keeps
