Media Reviews

comic excitement ... Underpinned by a delicious, unmerciful presentation of adults as seen by the two girls. First class stuff.

-- Tony Hickey - Village Magazine * Village Magazine *

engrossing story with a real insight into the world of pre-teen girls

-- Publishing News

Where this book succeeds so well is in showing the repercussions that decisions made by adults have on children and the ways in which, accordingly, they must live through these. A happy-ever-after scenario is not presented at the end of the novel, but then this would not be feasible either for Megan or for Alice. At once perceptive and humorous, this novel will doubtless strike a chord with many young readers.
