Review:

An extremely clever and original book .... The idea alone is so interesting that is would appeal to almost everybody (Emily Morton, aged 14 Scottish Sunday Herald)

Intelligently and elegantly written, with pace and suspence, varied and convincing dialogue and big themes of loyalty, sacrifice and emotional growth, Stoneheart will make readers see London with new eyes (The Sunday Times)

After entering its richly original and breathtaking world, the city streets and skyline will never again seem the same (Children's Zone)

A fantastical, fast-paced adventure (Publishing News)

The plot is intricate, multi-layered and the world in which the boys are trapped is breathtaking. Charlie Fletcher is a brilliant storyteller and Stone Heart is an epic adventure that's not to be missed (Love Reading 4 Kids)

A really exciting read (Surrey Quarterly Magazine)

Erudition, lively prose and ingenuity combine, making this a not-to-be-missed addition to the fantasy oeuvre that will have readers thumping the air with delight! (Books For Keeps)

Another highly original fantasy ... the unrelentling thrills never let up and the careful and intelligent integration of realities never interefers with the action (School Librarian)

Thrilling stuff (The Scotsman)

Exploding with action on every page. I was gripped from the very first line ... A must-read for fantasy and adventure lovers (Abbie Smith, aged 12 Watford Observer)

Fantastic! (Lisa Brown, aged 13 Watford Observer)

Adventurous, believable and easy to get into the story (Andrew Reid, St Thomas Aquin's High Teen Titles)

A highly original page-turner ... This breathtakingly imaginative and inventive fantasy/horror story should come with a warning that once begun it is impossible to put down. The term page-turner does not do it justice and it will change your view of London forever (Book Trust)

Darkly magical (The Guardian)

An immensely enjoyable page turner with a thrilling twist around every corner! (Eleanor Colquitt, year 7 The Whitehaven News)

A fantastical, fast-paced adventure. (Publishing News)
