Review:
Moments of high drama, suspense and quirky humour (Sunday Morning Post)
Thrilling (What's On London)
Complicated but enjoyable and filled with suspense (School Librarian)
An unusual and beautifully written story ... my favourite children's book of 2004 (Books For Keeps)
Delightfully bizarre ... compelling stuff with some ingenious plotting, plenty of twists, a cast of vividly memorable characters and a number of wonderfully evocative set pieces (SFX)
A gloriously silly comic book of a novel which manages, in passing, to be sweet-natured, smart and flashy (Time Out)
Very dark, utterly addictive and simply brilliant. (The Bookseller)
This is a gloriously silly comic book of a novel which manages, in passing, to be sweet-natured, smart and flashy. (Time Out London)
A thrilling tale ... an unusual and beautifully written story and my favourite children's book of 2004. (Books for Keeps, Best Stories of 2004)
Another thrilling read (What's on in London)
From the Publisher:
Hervé Jubert is an exciting new talent with genuine crossover appeal.
A truly original plot, hero and heroine, combined with sharp, pacy writing.
Accessible writing for teenagers, especially boys, with its mix of graphic novel, historical and detective fiction influences.
