Review:

Few writers can sustain a plot as well as Malorie Blackman * Sunday Telegraph * Blackman hangs an old story on a modern frame with terrific resonance * Inis * Blackman gets people, especially young adults... She gets humanity as a whole, too. Most of all she writes a stonking good story * Craousel * This is a highly intelligent thriller with important things to say * The School Librarian * Gutsy, spot-on and relevant . . . and shocking too. A great read -- Phil Hewitt * Chichester Observer *
