Review
The style is the perfect accompaniment to an extremely disturbing story (The Irish Times)
This is Tim Bowler's first novel and a powerful, disturbing, highly original story it is. (Junior Bookshelf)
Crisp dialogue, a fast-moving pace and rounded characters make this one to keep readers hooked from the first page. (School Librarian)
A risky and powerful novel whose images themselves may play around young readers' minds after the book is closed. (Times Educational Supplement)
Dragon's Rock: a nightmarish chiller which blends the flavour of Twin Peaks with Alan Garner (Times Educational Supplement)
This book was a brilliant read (Teen Titles)
