Review:

A formidably well-written adventure story... Horowitz joins a bleak but brilliant new school of children's writing which is best described as fantastical realism. * The Independent * The punchy style, snappy dialogue and lively pace make an attractive novel... extremely entertaining. * The Irish Times *
