Review:
[Of The Innocent's Story]: 'Thought-provoking and horribly topical. (The Bookseller)
This tense, gripping novel could hardly be more topical, raising questions of faith, loyalty and responsibility. (Linda Newbery, TES)
The sheer imaginative audacity of The Innocent's Story propels it beyond anything expected. (Julia Eccleshare)
Fine writing and shrewd perceptions . . . contribute to this resounding tale. (Independent on Sunday)
Brilliant! A truly original and moving story. (The Teacher)
Here is proof positive that children's books can be just as affecting and wonderfully written as those written for adults. This startling book had me gripped from page one... it's like The Lovely Bones for teenagers and is quite simply unforgettable. Excellent. (Evening News (Norwich))
This is an original, often blackly humorous novel, which sets out to probe beneath the surface of easy assumptions. (Irish Times)
Tender, thoughtful and idealistic, this is a tough but immensely worthwhile read. (The Independent)
