Review:
Praise for Gill Lewis' novels: Opens your eyes, touches your heart, and is so engaging it almost turns the pages for you. (Michael Morpurgo)
Moving, gripping and full of well-drawn, convincing characters, this is a powerful and inspirational book. (Daily Mail)
Exciting yet sensitive, tender and thought-provoking. (Booktrust)
. . . a beautiful read with a fast paced plot and ends with an uplifting message of emotional survival and hope. (We Love This Book)
This is a lyrical, emotive, engrossing adventure. (Sunday Times, Nicolette Jones)
A beautifully-told, nail-biting tale, that will inspire and empower anyone who reads it. (Kate Humble)
I absolutely loved this beautiful tale of friendship and hope. There's obvious appeal for fans of Lauren St John and Michael Morpurgo, and she's most definitely a writer to watch. (Bookseller)
I read the book in more or less a single sitting, then at the end I skipped back to read the best bits again. There aren't many novels you can say that about. (Lorna Bradbury, The Telegraph)
I absolutely loved this: a deeply moving account of two siblings sent to live with foster families...A powerful and emotional story. (Fiona Noble, The Bookseller)
Lewis makes you feel as though you are there with Scarlet and Red fighting their fights and feeling their pain. (Charlotte Seager, The Guardian)
